Media Outreach Subcommittee

Spreading the message of recovery from food addiction via print, radio, podcasts and television

The Media Outreach Subcommittee coordinates efforts to increase awareness of FA recovery via print, radio, podcasts and television. The team provides guidelines and coaching for members, works with media professionals around anonymity issues, and archives interviews and articles on the FA website. They coordinate press releases for FA conventions, Thank-a-thons, and seasonal peaks such as New Years and National Eating Disorders Awareness week. The subcommittee uses Cision, a subscription-based service that locates all the media outlets in any given area to help members direct their outreach. In addition, the Mediawatch team provides a mechanism to respond to relevant stories in the media in order to educate journalists and researchers about FA. Contact mediawatch@foodaddicts.org
