FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE HUNTERS' STAND MEDIA SERVICE

Australian’s long and once highly regarded hunting traditions are under threat like never before. The anti-hunting lobby uses the media to great effect in its drive to portray hunters as a cruel anti-social breed that must be shunned by the community, their rights withdrawn and their culture held in contempt.

Professional lobbyists and advocates recognise the threat posed by a manipulated and manipulative media, and the need to stay informed about emerging trends that are likely to sway popular opinion. They have come to appreciate the strategic value of media monitoring services that resource campaigns to counter negative and often highly misleading publicity, thus better informing debate and influencing public opinion for the better with the provision of facts. Unfortunately, such services are expensive – often costing thousands of dollars each month – putting their benefits beyond the reach of most hunting organisations let alone individual hunters…until now!

The creator of the Hunters’ Stand blogspot has almost 20 years experience in media monitoring and information resourcing spheres, providing highly regarded and award-winning services to the social welfare and indigenous community sectors nationally. These national services are so highly regarded that their founder/coordinator was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in the 2009 Queen’s Birthday Honours for his contributions to these sectors. He has also received a number of prestigious awards and citations from academia.

Garry Mallard is a lobbyist, activist, commentator and hunter who proudly identifies hunting and its traditions as a defining aspect of his cultural identity. In an effort to contribute in some small way to the preservation of the Australian hunting tradition, Garry has set-up a hunting specific media service – Hunters’ Stand Media – which hunters can subscribe to absolutely free of charge or obligation.

Subscribers will receive news and information from referenced sources, as it happens and often before papers hit the streets. Each bulletin is delivered in the form of an email bearing the headline in the subject field, making the news easy to sort through at a glance. Most of the bulletins are also posted on the Hunters against Cultural Vilification cause page and you can receive notifications of new posts there by activating the “Notifications” option on the page here

The email service is easy to subscribe to.  Just send an email to thehunterstand@gmail.com and include the words “Hunters Stand Media” in the email’s subject field. You should also include your name and a contact phone number. All personal details will remain strictly confidential. They will not be shared with any other party or organisation, at any time, without your prior written approval.

Please feel free to invite your hunting buddies to subscribe to Hunters’ Stand Media. The more we know of the big picture, the better equipped we are to influence it through our individual and club activities and through the efforts of our political representatives.

Anyway, I'll get outaya way now...
