Media Relations
In partnership with Learning and Organisational Development and Media Services, the Division of Communications and Marketing are offering a limited number of places for staff on a media training course. Delivered on campus by MediaFirst, these courses are run four times a year and take half a day to complete. Participants are coached in interview techniques and take part in face-to-face and TV interviews with a journalist. Feedback and recording are available after the event.
