RTÉ Brainstorm Media Workshop with Editor, Jim Carroll

RTÉ Brainstorm Media Workshop with Editor, Jim Carroll

If you’re looking to find a wider audience for your research and expertise, this is for you.

RTÉ Brainstorm has already proven to be a big success for NUI Galway academics and researchers.

Since the project went live in September 2017, over 160 pieces by NUI Galway academics and researchers have been published on the RTÉ Brainstorm website. See link here: https://www.rte.ie/eile/nui-galway/

RTÉ Brainstorm editor Jim Carroll will hold informal workshops on how the site works, what editors like him look for in stories from academics and researchers, how to communicate with the media about your work and how to frame research insights in a way that engages the public.

The workshop will look at ways to unlock the news value of your work and provide some pointers about how to approach writing for the public.

Jim will also be available on the day for one-to-one pitching sessions –please notify Gwen in advance of these requests to allow time.

Hourly morning sessions will take place from 10am-1pm in Room 125 Boardroom, Ground Floor of the Research and Innovation Centre.

Hourly afternoon sessions will take place from 2pm-4.30pm in the Bridge Room 1001, First Floor, Hardiman Research Building.
