Blue-Action coordinated a series of webinars on climate science communication in 2020. These were aimed at early-career researchers, but anyone who wishes to engage people with their research at any stage will find them valuable. This webinar was delivered on 19th June 2020 by Euan Paterson, who is the Communications and Media Officer at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. Euan is trained in journalism, and spent over a decade working in print media, before moving to work at the Institute. He brought his years of experience on both sides of the relationship to the webinar, sharing some insights and ideas on how to engage with the media. These are the slides for Euan's presentation.
