Are you working on an interesting or exciting project? Working with a colleague or patient who has an intriguing story? Being asked by the media to speak as a subject matter expert or to share timely tips and information? Find out more about how the media works and what they’re looking for from a former journalist and current VCH public affairs officer.

You’ll find out what types of topics and stories the media likes to cover and why some stories get extensive coverage while others seem to fail. We’ll also talk about how the VCH media team can assist and support you in getting your story out to the right audience.
