Which of the following is not a local media resource?

• A. Local newspaper
• B. Community radio
• C. Professional journal
• D. Television news release

Answer: (C)

Local media resources are channels that reach people living in a specific community, making it easy to share safety information with residents. Local newspapers, community radio, and television news releases all serve the local audience—they report on local issues and deliver timely information to people in that area.

A professional journal, however, is aimed at practitioners and researchers in the field and is typically distributed on a broader scale—regional, national, or international—and not designed to reach the general local public. Its content is more technical and is intended for professional development rather than disseminating broad public safety messages to the community. That’s why the professional journal isn’t considered a local media resource for community outreach.
