Communications - Local Media
The Communications Department, part of the SDCVB's Community Relations Division, deals exclusively with local media to convey the important message that San Diego's visitor industry contributes significantly to the local economy and quality of life of its residents. The department, which responds to local media inquiries, communicates the Bureau's messages, goals, activities and achievements to the community via the media through the distribution of media advisories, news releases, commentaries and opinion/editorial pieces. Story ideas highlighting tourism related topics are developed and offered to print and broadcast media contacts in an effort to generate favorable news coverage of the visitor industry.
