The Media Relations team will hold a media training session on Tuesday 19 September. The session, titled Working with the Media, is intended for academics and researchers and will take place at C22, Coates Building.

This training session will include case studies and examples targeted at the faculty of Engineering — however academics from all departments are welcome to attend.

The session will open with an introduction to the Media Relations team. Then from 11.00am onwards, Catherine Cross — a well known media trainer — will conduct a comprehensive and interactive session entitled: Journalists and Engineers: Friends or Foes?

This will be followed by Dr Wang Qi, Assistant Professor in the Department or Architecture and Built Environment, who will share his personal experiences of engaging with the media. The session will come to a close with a presentation by Anne Smart, Digital Communications Manager, who will cover how academics and researchers can get more out of social media.
