Q
Why is it vital to gain the support of the media if you are seeking a change in the law
A
Without media coverage the law-makers would not be able to gauge public opinion, and individuals would not be able to inform the law-makers of changes in attitudes and needs in society. If demonstrations and petitions are to have any impact, media coverage is required in order to gain community awareness and perhaps support to assist in alerting the law-makers to the need for a change in the law.
