I am kind of inquisitive about the broadcast of information about safe abortion at midnight or after, does the information reach your target audience while achieving the targeted numbers?
Using Organization personnel as replacement presenters seems a good idea but you may have to consider the mindset change in the community which is of course gradual and is for long term.
Hello Brenda
This wasn’t done by our broadcasting station but one national broadcasting station.
I believe it just a matter of playing the cards right.
Because abortion issues are very sensitive in our country
