Furries in the Press

For several years now the furry fandom experiences great awareness from mainstream media. This has led to various reports on a range of topics, with changing objectives and of different qualities. As the fandom is still growing the frequency of media requests will increase even further and we have to handle these in a competent way. This workshop gives an overview on what the press expects, the requests Eurofurence has received, the reaction to them and a strategy to build up media relations which help us to maintain an excellent reputation among journalists as well as their audience.
