Stanford Report, April 7, 2004
	Media training class on tap for faculty   Recognized as medical experts, School of Medicine faculty members are often called upon by the media to talk about their work or provide comment on new developments in their respective fields. But it requires some skill, experience, and understanding of the media to conduct an effective interview, whether it’s for a print or broadcast outlet. The Office of Communication & Public Affairs is offering a series of workshops for faculty to provide guidance on dealing with the media and learning the most effective methods for getting their message across. Faculty can opt for one of two introductory workshops, held April 30 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and May 6 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Both workshops take place in CCSR Room 4105. Coffee, sodas and snacks will be available. More extensive media training, in which participants will practice their skills on camera, will be offered at a later date to interested faculty. Faculty members who plan to attend one of the introductory workshops should RSVP to Jocelyn Baluyut, 723-6911, jocelynb@stanford.edu, by April 26.
