(apologies for cross posting)

Request for help please.

Is there a one-stop shop, website, publication or similar, that lists opportunities for media training, self-help media training resources and media familiarisation-type courses?

I'm NOT looking for recommendations for media trainers (although if you are a media trainer and you are running courses that research scientists can attend please let me know).

I'm looking to pull together a resource to send to a disparate group of PhD students and young researchers, spread throughout the UK. We're probably not in the market to do much media training ourselves (other than for key spokespeople) - but we'd like "our" students to be aware of what is out there and be able to sign up for courses if they are so inclined.

So for starters:
- Individual universities' courses?
- Reseach council courses?
- Wellcome Trust
- Science Media Centre
- Learned socs and professional bodies (specific examples please)

- Sense about Science's Voice of Young Science events
- British Science Association's media fellowships

White, Evans, Mihill "Hitting the Headlines" (but I think it's out of print)

I'm interested in stuff for working research scientists - not scientists who want to be journalists or trainee press officers.

All help very gratefully received - thanks in advance

Best wishes - Dianne
