The popular hour-long media workshop of the Media Office in the Division Corporate Communication and Marketing is available online for departments and other entities.
“The workshop is an informal, hour-long discussion highlighting seven benefits of being available to the media along with seven ways in which the Media Office can support departments in this," says Mr Martin Viljoen, Manager: Media. “The workshop can be tailored to the needs of the specific department to, for example, incorporate a larger component of science communication or the use of social media."
According to Viljoen, research has shown that having a good media profile promotes your research profile. “Showcasing articles authored by SU staff or in which staff members were used as experts – as well as radio and TV inserts – a picture of the media landscape is drawn and a brief explanation of how staff can use the media to increase exposure, is provided."
