Abstract

The BSA sees the importance in informing, and educating, the public about the interesting, relevant, and authoritative work that sociologists are producing. This presentation will describe my experience of dealing with print and radio media following my presentation at the BSA Conference, London, 2013. I will describe the process of working through the press release stage to being interviewed for the print media and for radio and my reaction to those situations. I will also present the key factors that influence journalists in their selection of sources.
