In today's digital world, navigating the media landscape has become increasingly complicated. Join experts from University Communications at the University of Connecticut for a three-part training on how scholars can best work with the media, deal with adversity on social media, and collaborate with their home institution's communications department. Working With the Media: Media inquiries can provide a valuable opportunity to share your research and can elevate your institution's profile and your own expertise. However, they occasionally also must be approached with caution, particularly when the topic is thorny or participating may bring about more challenges than benefits. This discussion will focus on the kinds of media outlets that most often reach out to those in academia, planning for an interview, working with Communications to assess potential pitfalls, a general overview of public records law, and related topics. Adversity on Social Media: In today's digital age, social media plays a significant role in shaping our interactions, but it also presents challenges that can negatively impact individuals and communities. In this discussion, we'll talk about the various forms of social media adversity, including cyberbullying, online harassment, misinformation, and how to handle being an academic in today's digital era. Working with University Communicators: The university's professional communicators should be the first point of contact for faculty members looking to publicize their work, connect with external media, or get advice on everything from press releases to book promotion. In this talk, we'll discuss what resources are available, what realistic expectations look like, and how to help the university's communicators promote your work. Examples will be drawn from the University of Connecticut but are broadly applicable. PRESENTERS: Stephanie Reitz (University Spokesperson & Manager of Media Relations, University of Connecticut), Emily Zangari (Director, Digital Content & Strategy, University of Connecticut), and Tom Breen (Director of News and Editorial Communications, University of Connecticut).
