Participants will explore a variety of media literacy techniques as well as participate in demonstrations of strategies suitable to classroom teaching. The second part of the workshop will explore strategies for interacting with the media, particularly when addressing controversial issues. Participants will develop a crisis management plan for dealing with media and will also get hands on experience answering difficult reporter/antagonist questions.
