Office of Public Affairs Offering Fall Public Knowledge Media Training

The Office of Public Affairs will be offering a media training course during the fall 2017 semester. The class will include five separate workshops held on Saturdays from September to November from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The coursework is designed to educate faculty and graduate students on how to interact with online, print, radio and television outlets.

After completion, attendees will be versed in finding news angles related to their research, drafting talking points, participating in interviews, creating videos and using social media. Reporters, media experts and broadcast producers will serve as panelists and provide practical advice.

Faculty members are welcome to register, and graduate students may be admitted with a faculty member's approval. Registration is open until Friday, Aug. 25, and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There are limited spaces available.
