COMMUNICATION ALLIANCE
INTRODUCTION The idea of forming a Communication Alliance was born out of the recognition that hunting and hunters are increasingly facing attacks in all areas of the world. Strongly opposing views about the pros and cons of hunting for the conservation of nature and wildlife create a large degree of confusion and divide among the public. The increasing presence of media in our lives, where information, either correct or not, can reach millions of people in a matter of minutes, can aggravate the divide.
30 MILLION HUNTERS WORLDWIDE
What is the difference between the anti-hunting lobby and the hunting community? Unity. The anti-hunting lobby is organized and uses its numbers to gain power. There are 30 million hunters globally, so there are the numbers; now, it is essential we organize. It is for this reason that the CIC forged a permanent alliance of media sources and individual reporters. This alliance serves to streamline communication to unify the message of the hunting community: hunting is conservation.
Main goals of the Communication Alliance: • To reinforce the cooperation in the field of hunting, nature, and conservation journalism worldwide. • To support journalists, video reporters, and photographers of all levels. • To bring together journalists from around the globe to share best practices for coverage. • To provide access to dialogues, courses, conferences, and events enabling journalists to discuss current issues in international hunting journalism.
