Welcome to the Veterinary News Network
What Is VNN?
VNN is a national network of veterinarians and selected media journalists who use VNN's multi-media resources to broadcast local news stories about current issues and advances in animal medicine.
The network provides a highly professional source of newsworthy television, radio, print and web based stories for use by our reporters. Only two types of reporters may qualify to receive VNN materials. Our first priority is Doctors of Veterinary Medicine who have, or wish to have, positions as specialty contributors in a local media outlet. These veterinary reporters are the core of the network and have responsibility to the public, the media and the veterinary community. Secondly, existing medical and specialty reporters may apply for a position as an affiliate reporter within the network.
Each veterinary reporter develops their own relationship with local media and is completely independent. VNN serves simply as a resource of stories, broadcast quality video tools, radio show talking points and print or web based columns and ideas to enhance the quality of veterinary reporting nationwide.
If you are a veterinarian interested in becoming an approved VNN reporter, click here and learn how to apply for reporter status.
If you are an existing medical or specialty reporter, you may click here to apply for affiliate reporter status.
If you are a TV news producer, radio show producer, talk show host, or lifestyles print editor, click on "Find A Reporter" and we'll connect you with a veterinary contributor in your area.
