The traditional mass media, and the increasing use of electronic and information technology, all raise issues for the ethical conduct of research. At the same time there is pressure on researchers to ensure that their findings have an impact beyond their own academic or professional community. This event will explore the ethical issues around using the media as a research tool and engaging with the media to disseminate research. The first day will be led by an experienced journalist and expert in media ethics. On Day 2 three researchers will focus on research ethics through examples of research using art, newspapers, the internet and e-mail. The final day takes a practical look at the opportunities and perils of disseminating research. A subsequent 'advanced' workshop, later in the programme will be for those with greater experience and working knowledge of the field.
