After recent discussions on how researchers can delve into PESTery, I decided to bring together some of the material that I use when talking to young researchers about working with the media. Where possible I like to point them at sources that might be appropriate for their domain, so I have created a page on the ABSW web site with links to the handful of guides to "working with the media" that I know of. http://www.absw.org.uk/media_guides.htm Not many so far, BBSRC, Sense About Science and the Social Issues Research Centre. If you know of any other material on this front, I would be happy to include a link. While I am at it, I would also like to build up a page with links to opportunities in media training. I know that the BPS and BBSRC are active on this front. Anyone else? ____________________________ Michael Kenward ABSW e-minder http://www.absw.org.uk http://absw.blogspot.com/ ********************************************************************** 1.
