MEDIA COVERAGE
Since the inception of the project in
2001 there has been extensive media coverage of the project, its progress and
the volunteer staff. Our first newspaper story was in Long Island Newsday (the
largest newspaper on Long Island) in November of 2001. It was a two page
story which resulted in new additions to our volunteer staff and the initial
public awareness of the project. Since then, media coverage has included many
stories in community newspapers, the New York Daily News, corporate newspapers,
local township veterans newsletters and “Frontlines” published by the Marine
Corps Times. In addition, radio station coverage has accompanied our open house
events. In May of 2004 Long Island Newsday again did a 2-page feature story on
the Tiger Veterans Reunion including a thumbnail sketch on the front page. The
Suffolk Times (the second largest Long Island newspaper) also did a 2-page
story, including front page coverage. In November of 2004, a Marine Corps
reporter visited to do a story for the official Marine Corps Website which
newspapers use as a resource for articles of interest to their readers. The
article and photos were published on December 9th at www.NYMarines.org and
www.USMC.mil.
