Her advice to school districts: Know local reporters and news organizations and understand the different needs of different media. The author presents the results of a survey on the attitudes of educators, media personnel, and the public toward the accuracy of media coverage and notes the discrepancy among those views. She describes large-scale efforts to improve media coverage of education and emphasizes that such coverage is important because of the high public interest in education issues.; 5 ER -
