![Page 17: OUHK Comm6024 - lecture 7 media relations in event management and crisis communication](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55572e0fd8b42a067f8b5044/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS?
• Usually exclusive. You may gain editorial exposure in your partner media, but you are not likely to get a lot from others.
• Media often use published rates to negotiate entitlements. You may be in a position to be exchanging for a more expensive item.
• Your media partner may be supporting your competitor’s event as well, but it’s very difficult to put this restrictive covenant into your media partnership agreement.
