Getting favorable, or even fair, coverage in the mainstream media is something the pro-life movement has struggled mightily with for many years.

Is it possible for pro-lifers to get such coverage? And should pro-life organizations at least attempt to build a positive relationship with the mainstream media?

Yes to both questions, says Tom Ciesielka, president of TC Public Relations, a "boutique" communications agency in Chicago that counts the Pro-Life Action League and the Thomas More Society among their list of Christian clients.

Below is a brief interview with Ciesielka, who has been a great assistance to yours truly over the last couple of years.
