Training School on
“Communication – how to speak with media”
Cooperation project of COST Action FP0905 and GMO Safety
9th - 11th November 2011
Darmstadt, Germany
TOPIC
What does a journalist expect from me? How can I prepare for an interview? How can I present my results clearly and intelligibly and place them in a political, economic and social context? How do I deal with controversial issues?
People who research socially important subjects often find themselves in the spotlight sooner than they expect. The media are interested in competent sources, and scientists can play an important part in bringing objectivity to the public debate about plant genetic engineering.
The aim of this three-day media and communication training course is to teach participants the rules of media work and to prepare them to deal confidently with journalists.
