RNC MEDIA PORTAL
We are excited to announce that in collaboration with the Akron Beacon Journal (ABJ), we're lending our assistance in populating their online "community information portal" for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this July.
First, it will serve as a resource for visitors, as we will be sending partner listing information directly to the ABJ on your behalf, including web site, phone and basic description.
Second, the portal will also be used by the visiting media to gather photos and story ideas - with the goal of providing rich content and direct access should the media have time to cover anything other than what's happening on the Convention floor.

The Convention will bring the attention of the country and the world to Northeast Ohio, so we want to be prepared in advance to tell our stories.
If you would like to share your story with the visiting media, please submit your story idea(s) as a Word document through the RNC Media Portal form below.
Here are some notes to keep in mind:
Here are some notes to keep in mind:
- Stories do not need to be related to the RNC, but can be. Feel free to cover human interest, feel-good stories that help position Greater Akron as a desirable place to be.
- Visiting media outlets will be more likely to pick up stories that are fully developed/written.
- Submitting a story idea does not necessarily mean that the visiting media will cover it.
You may also submit up to three high resolution pictures that represent your organization for the media's potential use. These images may be used freely by the media and must be copyright and royalty free. They do not need to be related to your story ideas.
