Details
This course will provide expert guidance and hands-on training on how to effectively convey technical geoscience issues to non-technical audiences. Drawing on practical experience from across the popular media landscape, it aims to make geoscience specialists more effective communicators by creating more compelling, impactful science storylines, engaging more effectively with journalists and the wider media, targeting their scientific messaging at those stakeholder audiences most able to effect change, and establishing trusted relationships with the end-user communities they are working with.
