Thank you for your interest in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent’s website-based CK Municipal Media Subscription Service. The municipality is committed to effective media relations services that support professional journalists and agencies as you gather, process and disseminate community news in the public interest.
Under Canadian law, the Municipality of Chatham-Kent needs your explicit consent to send to you, at its discretion and on an ongoing basis (by e-mail or electronic text) group-based news or marketing communiques such as media event invitations and other advisories, information releases, emergency bulletins and roads notices, that might be accompanied by photographs, videos or other media formats.
The CK Municipal Media Subscription Service media lists are used by all municipal departments and associated agencies for the group dissemination of information to journalistic media. To receive such messages through this service, a journalist must proactively subscribe using this online application form. Once the municipality has verified your information, your subscription service will commence according to which of two media lists you have entered. If you do not subscribe, you will not receive these messages. You can also choose to unsubscribe from this service at any time.
This list is the basic list that will provide you on an ongoing basis with all municipal communiques sent to the news media including communiques that might be of a wider regional interest.
This list is for news media that do not wish to receive communiques of mainly local interest but do want to receive information judged to be of a wider regional interest.
Note - the content of the CK Municipal Media Subscription Service cannot be customized to the needs of individual receivers. For your follow-up, please use the contact information provided in the body of each individual communique. Aside from this service, the Municipality of Chatham-Kent also provides assistance to individual journalists and agencies.
