ANN and Seventh-day Adventist Media Relations
Adventist News Network is the Adventist Church’s news voice among secular and religious media. Although ANN is not directly involved in pitching specific news stories to the press or sending out PR-style news releases, ANN complements the Seventh-day Adventist’s media relations efforts by:
Raising name awareness of the Adventist Church among major news entities.
Providing Adventist news resources for other news agencies
Providing news coverage of media events.
ANN becomes another delivery system for information about media events; e.g. Adventist World Church Session (Note: this is distinct from pre-event public relations and promotion.)Church’s world region (division) Media Relations
