Working with the Media

AAEA members are invited to attend an interactive session on engaging with the media. Journalists will share how and when they incorporate expert perspectives into their stories, helping researchers better understand the media process. Participants will also hear from AAEA members who have experience serving as expert sources and can offer practical advice on preparing for interviews.

If you are interested in communicating your research to broader audiences or learning more about how media engagement works, this session will provide useful guidance and examples.
