Media Camp 2022 – May 10- 11, 2022

Session Description

Canadian journalists are looking for U of T experts to share their insight. Media Camp 2022 provides a high-level introduction to media work for researchers as well as opportunities to learn from colleagues on how to start engaging with this work. Building on the success of Media Camp 2021, hosted by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and School of Cities, we invite all the U of T research community to learn more about media relations from colleagues and experts in the field.

This event is a direct result of a focus on delivering quality knowledge dissemination insights to the research community and communications colleagues across U of T, as well as a commitment by senior leadership at UTM to ensuring digital safety and sharing best practices in keeping online spaces safer.

The two-day event comprises six sessions:

• Media Training sessions
• Confidence for Media Work
• Op-Eds
• Content Creation: Audio
• Social Media and the Public Eye
• Content Creation: Visuals
• Interviewing for Broadcast

Who should attend?

Any U of T researcher, faculty member, librarian, staff member, postdoctoral fellow, sessional instructors, and CLTA who wants to know more about the media interview process and feel more comfortable working with journalists.
