The media tip sheet provides guidance to volunteers on how best to respond to media inquiries. Prior to your count, you should make every effort to engage the media outlets in your community. To ensure the confidentiality of your survey participants, kindly request that the media refrain from interviewing teams of volunteers, especially volunteers surveying on the street. As part of your volunteer training, instruct volunteers on how to respond if the media approaches them. The media tip sheet should be included in your volunteer training package
