“Media Matters”
Does anyone pay attention to the media any more? This talk will seek to deepen our understanding of public information and the press, and discuss the skills needed to write for a lay audience in order to enhance research and public opinion. Some of the questions posed are: How can you get your subject across to the public via the press and not be misunderstood? What's the key to getting an op-ed published in a local or regional newspaper?
