In partnership with the Science Media Centre, NPM recently hosted another successful media workshop bringing established and emerging Māori researchers together from around the country, to help nurture and further develop their skills, in preparation for future media interest in their work.
Activities over the two days included workshops on how to best manage media interest, highlight your research and pitch your ideas - as well as a visit to TVNZ's Auckland studios to meet and talk with Māori media.
One of the participants, Dr Jason Mika recently published an article on his reflections and experiences over the two days of this most recent workshop. Link to read the article here.
We expect to be hosting another Media Skills workshop in April 2019, at Waipapa Marae, University of Auckland.
