How Doctors Get On T.V. - Contacting Reporters

Doctors who gain television exposure in the news or on TV shows can educate the public and attract a significant number of new patient inquiries on an ongoing basis. Gary Grasso, director of Doctor's P.R. & Medical News has written a brief guide to promoting doctors for television news coverage and live appearances on T.V. The article includes information on working with medical reporters and health story producers, morning show producers and assignment editors at TV stations.

For example, the article shows doctors how to compose the elements of a TV story proposal. Since television is a visual medium, success will often depend on what the doctor can offer to “show and tell” with visuals such as demonstrations of actual procedures, patient stories, graphics and photos. These factors are critical when a reporter or producer is considering whether to book a story taping or guest appearance. The full article can be found here.
