Find out what research stories interest some of the country’s top media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, New Scientist, and GeekWire, directly from science journalists who write for them.
Faculty and graduate student researchers are invited to join WSU’s lead science writer Sara Zaske for a presentation and panel discussion Thursday, Sept. 28 from 1:30–2:30 p.m. on Zoom. Register for the event “Making Headlines: Promoting Research in the Media” to receive the Zoom link.
Zaske will first make a short presentation on how WSU researchers can work with university resources to promote studies, including options for research that might not fit the “big blast” of a formal press release.
Then, journalists Alan Boyle, Dawn Fallik, and Christie Taylor will join for a Q&A session about how they work, what they look for in a science story for general audiences, and the interview process.
The event is sponsored by the WSU Office of Research Advancement and Partnerships as part of the fall information series for researchers.
