3) Use the news: By implementing a good media policy you can earn third party credibility by sending the media new releases etc. However, make sure you have something definite to say and keep your news release short and sweet.
4) Sponsorship: You could sponsor some kind of a public service announcement for a charity in your area or maybe even financially aid students.
