Have you ever thought about getting your research into the media but weren’t too sure how to do it? Where to get started? Who to ask for help? Or what it would entail?

To provide some insight into these questions, the ECR Network has put together a panel of media experts and academic researchers who have a range of experiences (from beginner novice to established veterans) with telling their research stories to various media outlets.

Moderated by Angie Kelly, editor of The Lighthouse, our panel will discuss their personal experiences in engaging with the media and will focus on providing an overview of

·       how to engage,

·       tips and tricks to be aware of to generate media interest and build media relationships,

·       tips and tricks to be aware of when writing for the media / or when being interviewed, and

·       how to utilise the support available through Macquarie’s media team
