Volunteers needed for Media Research for river conservation organization
Prairie Rivers Network is looking for volunteers to monitor media
sources for stories and information related to river conservation and water
quality. Volunteers will perform media research and forward items of interest
relating to water quality, water pollution, river conservation, and aquatic
ecosystems to Prairie Rivers Network staff.
Some of the specific responsibilities may include:
-
Monitoring web sites for information;
-
collecting copies of articles from newspapers, industry and academic magazines/journals;
-
creating a system for tracking media stories and assemble bibliographies;
-
assisting staff with press releases, media relations; and,
-
performing other media tasks as necessary.
Research information gathered by volunteers will enable Prairie Rivers
Network to:
-
Develop a broader network of water quality and river advocates by sharing
information with others and informing them of environmental issues;
-
keep Prairie Rivers Network informed on current river conservation and
water quality news stories around the state;
-
evaluate effectiveness of press releases of our organization and other
groups; and,
-
identify opportunities for Prairie Rivers Network to communicate our message
of river conservation and clean water.
Stories uncovered by volunteers may become important water quality issues
throughout Illinois. You can make a difference!
