Much of the success and rapid growth of the World Farm Animals Day observance over the past 20 years has been due to the generous support by the national and local media. Radio and television networks have conducted interviews with celebrity members of WFAD's National Council like Casey Kasem, Mary Tyler Moore, Ed Asner, James Cromwell, Jennie Garth, and Bill Maher. Local media have reported extensively on community events. Each year, nearly a hundred newspapers have carried letters to the editor.
