small is big: controlling media messages about real estate
DESCRIPTION
"Freedom of the press" is one of our nation's founding principles, so do we really want to dictate the way our industry is portrayed in the media? Message control? Spin doctoring? Little miss can't be wrong? Not exactly. Spin is gross. But all associations do have an opportunity to influence the news. The most accurate, compelling and honest information available about housing comes from your local MLS. Learn how to create factual, easy-to-use material from MLS data that your members and the media alike will appreciate.TRANSCRIPT
