>This highly interactive hands-on institute is designed to
>help researchers and scholars communicate more effectively
>with nonacademic audiences, including members of the popular
>media and practitioner journals. Institute participants will
>(a) write three major types of articles about their own
>research (press release/op. ed. or opinion piece/practitioner
>journal article) coached and critiqued by practicing
>journalists, (b) practice interviewing with members of the
>print and electronic media (based on their own research
>and/or interests), and (c) participate in panel discussions
>about what makes certain educational issues newsworthy based
>on past coverage. The intended audience is composed of
>researchers and others interested in increasing the
>visibility an impact of their work through the media. The
>audience for the institute is scholars seeking a wider
>audience for their work, those who work with the media on a
>regular basis, those who wish to influence policy and
>policymakers, and those who wish to inform the general public
>of important research findings using electronic and print
>media.
