Secret Santa recognizes and appreciates the power and value of select media coverage  by talented journalists who understand  the mission. 

The mission of Secret Santa is to inspire kindness throughout the world. The media is an important partner, and only through the meida is the mission truly fullfiled. If you inspire one person who witnesses a Secret Santa  random act of kindness, you have inspired one person. But if through a talented journalist, a million viewers see it, you have inspired a million. For this reason, Secret Santa welcomes media coverage from established professional news organizations under the following two conditions:

• Anonymity of Secret Santa is assured

• Stories of recipient interviews are shared with Secret Santa

After years of Secret Santa activity and established relationships with members of the media, we have learned to trust in the professional standards and ethics of the vetted reporters we have had the privilege of working with.

For over fifteen years, Larry Stewart's identity was kept secret by the media professionals covering his story. Today's America's Secret Santa's anonymity continues to be maintanied by trusted media professionals covering Secret Santa stories.  

The mission of Secret Santa works best when covered by established news organizations and journalists who understand the value of the human spirit exemplified in the stories of kindness and the power of sharing those stories with the world.
