The APSA Election Assistance and Policy Committee is partnering with the AAAS SciLine project to provide media training for scholars who study elections. SciLine’s media training is a day-long, virtual workshop designed to help scientists understand the ecosystem of U.S. journalism, introduce general science communication skills, and practice applying those skills in the context of interviews for print or broadcast media.
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Sunday, February 25, 2024
The event combines presentations and discussions with several small-group breakout sessions throughout the day to work on specific skills and receive personalized feedback through practice interviews and other exercises. It is a full day, typically from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET, and the agenda includes approximately 1.5 hours total of break time for the lunch hour and short breaks mid-morning and afternoon.
