Media 101: Defining The Media Landscape (via Zoom)
Registration required
The NICHD Office of Communications has developed a new media training course, for anyone interested in an introduction to media relations at NIH.
Participants will get an introduction into the current media landscape, such as: defining newsworthiness, learning the structure and priorities of a newsroom, understanding reporters’ deadlines, knowing what to do when contacted by the media, and communicating complex scientific findings to the public. The course includes speaker presentations and individual/group exercises that will enable participants to practice explaining study findings in lay-friendly language.
This is a basic introduction on the importance of communicating science to the public and what that looks like in practice at NIH. You’ll also learn tips on how to explain study findings in a lay-friendly manner.
Sign up information has been distributed via email. Please contact Dr. Linda Huynh (linda.huynh@nih.gov) if you have questions.
