Media training is changing at the ESRC.
Having taken on board extensive feedback from their delegates they are moving their media training forward to focus on the practical elements of working with the media.
They now offer a one day-long media training session that provides the opportunity to develop practical media skills in a safe environment.
They believe by concentrating their resources this way they will be able to give maximum opportunity for researchers, no matter what stage of their career, to develop their skills and feel comfortable handling media interviews. Whether a PhD student, postdoctoral researcher or senior fellow, the new practical media training session provides the guidance needed to engage the media with confidence – and plenty of opportunity to practice.
For more information, please see the article here.
The course will be taking place in different locations throughout the year. The forthcoming course dates are:
- 17 September 2015 – London
- 15 October 2015 – Cambridge
- 30 October 2015 – London
- 12 November 2015 – London
