Media Training
You know the science, but conveying it skillfully to a journalist—and ultimately to that journalist’s audience—takes preparation and practice. SciLine offers media training opportunities, both in-person and virtually, to help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence that can make your media interviews more effective and satisfying.
Openly available, free training opportunities, include:
Media basics webinars that explain how the U.S. news ecosystem works, what reporters are looking for in a scientist-source, and how to prepare for and participate in a successful interview.
Openings to join a SciLine training cohort with peers in the scientific community for continued learning, practice, and peer support over an extended period.
