SATELLITE DESCRIPTION:

A workshop on communicating research and field experience through the news media

Excited about your research results but don't know how to share them? Tired of public health headlines that over-promise and under-explain? Wondering what happened to global health coverage altogether?

As health professionals and researchers, your experience and expertise have potential to change behavior, policy and human lives - if they reach an audience ripe for their consumption. Better public information can lead to better public health. Let's tap into their intersection.

Immediately following this year's CUGH conference closing, please join the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, an international journalism organization, and Global Health NOW from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for a workshop on tips and tools for engaging the news media. Alongside global health journalists and communications specialists, participants will learn the skills needed to pitch a story, translate to a lay audience, and make both traditional and nontraditional media work for you.
