Some Boards maintain a strong relationship with the local media (newspapers, blogs). Boards send them information about project updates or upcoming meetings, and the blogs post a story about it. For example, see this blog post about a town hall meeting at Manhattan Community Board 3.

Several Community Boards include local media contacts in their mailing lists to assist in the publication of announcements and meetings.
