Our participants will join prominent environmental journalists in Washington DC from November 15-18, 2006.  SeaWeb/COMPASS will lead intensive, hands-on media communication training that includes modules on:

  • What makes good news?
  • Elements of a good story
  • Interview "do's and don'ts"

Participants will hear from several prominent journalists from US and UK publications, including Michelle Nijhuis, contributing editor for High Country News and winner of the 2006 Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Writing from the American Geophysical Union; and Christopher Joyce, a correspondent on National Public Radio's (NPR) science desk whose work is heard on Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and NPR's Radio Expeditions.  A tour of NPR Studios will provide a behind-the-scenes view of science communication in action.
