Detroit residents and community groups interested in working with the media to raise awareness of community issues are invited to join Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan for a virtual communications workshop. We'll cover tips on navigating the media environment and working with reporters, how to sharpen your point, and strategies for owning the interview.

Registration is required to access the Zoom meeting.

Please let us know how we can ensure that this event is inclusive to you. Contact Poverty Solutions Strategic Projects Manager Karen Kling at kotzen@umich.edu with requests for accommodations or access needs we can help facilitate.

This workshop is part of Poverty Solutions' new community experts initiative, which aims to deepen our commitment to engaging Detroit residents and leaders in our action-based research. We will convene community leaders with both lived and professional experience confronting poverty to share insights and resources and generate innovative ideas for action.
