Promoting your research in the media
Communicating research findings to audiences beyond academia is essential to impact generation. Carefully planned media engagement can raise the profile of your research, engage audiences, change public opinion and influence change.
The University’s media and communications team can provide advice on promoting your research in the media or producing an article for publication in . The team produces and distributes a wide range of media content including press releases, media pitches, blogs, podcasts and social media videos, and takes a proactive approach to promoting its research and researchers through local, national and international media.
All of these activities have been supported by our Press and Media team who provide dedicated media training to academics enabling them to engage with high-profile media. Being taught how to handle interviews and practising those skills is the surest way to improve both the result and alleviate much of the anxiety many people suffer when engaging with the media.
If you would like to talk to the Press and Media team about promoting your research, writing for The Conversation or to sign up for media training, please contact the team at pressoffice@port.ac.uk.
