Top Issues in Communications & Media Relations
“Our job is to anticipate challenges and help you manage them – to provide an extra layer of comfort, beyond the legal, that the right message is getting through in both everyday matters and the most stressful of circumstances.”
– Terilyn Finders, Chief Client Services Officer
While your legal matters are in the hands of some of the best-regarded education lawyers in the business, communications and media relations pros working closely with those lawyers are best suited as your advocates in the court of public opinion. We understand well the ability of public opinion to shape perception around legal matters, which is why F3’s team of communication professionals is ready to assist. Here at F3, our highly experienced communications team is in-house and prepared to step in on a moment’s notice. Our communications group – including the firm’s Chief Client Services Officer and Director of Government Affairs among others – provide media training, communications audits, counsel on the many specific issues boards and administrators face, and can step in whenever an urgent need occurs.
Our communications team is called upon constantly to help schools and districts address projects that may be controversial or misunderstood, such as campus consolidations, school property sales or conversions, or school funding; layoffs and other personnel matters; and litigation of every kind. We create campaigns to ensure truthfulness and transparency; train district personnel on proactively developing productive relations with local and other media; advise superintendents on responding to inquiries from the media, the board, and from parents; train on social media best practices; and finally, guide boards, administrators, and school officials through even the most unexpected and extreme crises.
