Media/Consumer Watch Groups

Involving The Media And Consumer Watch Groups

 If the law will not address your wrong, sometimes you can still win in the court of public opinion. This may require that you involve the media and consumer watch groups.  REMEMBER, bad press hurts business and may even prompt lawmakers to pass new legislation to help others in your situation.       

When talking to the media, make your plight a human interest story.  Explain how your problem affects:  safety, business, the city's image, the homeless, crime, drug use, widows, orphans, children, the disabled, the elderly, the economy, the environment, the insane, immigrants, the illiterate, race relations, tourism, violence, the state and federal budget, health, disease, safety...etc. 

Give the reporter the names and numbers of other victims (first get their permission) and have these people call in with similar stories.  Also provide the reporter/agency with a list of names and phone numbers so that he can interview the landlord, the management company and its agents.  Make sure the reporter can write your story without ever leaving his chair.

If you receive a positive response, send it immediately to each and every other agency/newspaper.  The more support you have the more likely you will be taken seriously.  Watch your cause build momentum as people jump on the bandwagon.  Lastly, write your state senator/house  representative to pass legislation to stop this terrible wrong.  Send a brief cover letter explaining your situation and how it effects others.  Also enclose favorable responses from the media and other agencies.

Trouble getting the government to act on your behalf? Give them a little bad press and you're bargaining power increases tremendously. Select your state, and then click on your county or city for the proper media to report to. (DC Not Included).
