The Conversation Training Session
Event Navigation
Representatives from The Conversation are coming to UNC’s campus on Tuesday, September 10 and Wednesday, September 11. As you likely know by now, The Conversation is a media platform that works with experts to write articles on specific newsworthy topics that are then posted on The Conversation’s site (which has 2 million unique visitors a month) and on the Associated Press news wire, and may get picked up by additional media outlets.
Unlike last year’s training sessions, these will be set up more like a workshop and will feature editor Bijal Trivedi from The Conversation who can speak to both communicators and academic experts about the types of pitches they are looking for. The sessions will provide an opportunity to practice crafting pitches for The Conversation’s editors and to receive their feedback.
