Framing Your Research for Media Coverage

Time: 12-1pm

Editors, public affairs staff, and journalists make daily decisions on what is most relevant and compelling to their audiences. Learn ways to identify and frame the “story” in your research to help showcase your findings to a wider public.

BIO: Dr. Elizabeth Saewyc is a Professor of Nursing and Adolescent Medicine at UBC, and heads the Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre.
