Date: June 14, 2022 at 10:30 - June 14, 2022 at 11:30
Public health professionals across the country have been in the spotlight because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether communicating about risk and prevention or advocating for structural change, advocates must evoke a narrative that consistently builds support towards public health goals. Strategic engagement with the news media is a powerful way for advocates to reach decision makers, activate allies and build public support. In this Web Forum Berkeley Media Studies Group will provide a brief introduction to media advocacy as a narrative change tool public health advocates can use in their work.
