Understanding the media: A starter guide for scientists

SciLine in partnership with NPA is pleased to offer media training for scientists looking to learn the basics about working with the media and to improve their interview skills.

This free, virtual, one-hour course—designed specifically for media-curious scientists with little or no media experience—teaches the basics scientists need to know as they consider dipping their toes or diving deeper into media engagement. We provide an overview of the U.S. news landscape, including the different types of media outlets and reporters a scientist might encounter (and what each is looking for), professional similarities and differences between journalists and scientists, and the risks and benefits of participating in interviews.
