Media and communication workshop for researchers
Adelaide, Monday 26 August 2024 9am to 5pm
Level 9, Adelaide University Health & Medical Sciences Building, 4 North Terrace
This is a full-day practical workshop where you will learn how to effectively communicate about your work to the media. Over the course of the day, you will:
- Meet local journalists and find out how the media works.
- Practice being interviewed ‘on tape’ and in front of camera by journalists.
- Learn how media coverage can help you amplify the impact of your research.
By spending the day meeting, talking, and working with journalists from television, print and radio you will learn how to tell your story in a way that works for the media.
Our two presenters are experienced science communicators who will guide you in how to ensure your story stays true to the science and delivers impact. The skills you learn will be useful across other audiences that you need to reach including government and industry.

The cost is $800 +GST per person. Includes morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea.
More about us
We are a specialist science communication and public relations agency. We help researchers simplify and amplify their work and help them get that story to the audience that matters to them – whether that is the public, government, industry, farmers, patients, or the media
Our team has a passion for science. We encourage and challenge scientists to get their research into the public space so that it has impact, while staying true to the science.
Over the years we’ve increased the sightings of sawfish for Sharks and Rays Australia; helped Monash launch the world’s first printed jet engine; revealed the loss of half the coral on the Great Barrier Reef for AIMS; helped CERN announce the Higgs boson; and revealed the link between CSIRO’s Wi-Fi patent and Aussie astronomy.
