Whakauae researchers become Media Savy
The question of how to get the findings and significance of Māori research across via the media was at the core of a two-day “Media Savvy” workshop attended by Dr Amohia Boulton and Dr Tanya Allport from Whakauae Research. Run by the Science Media Centre through Nga Pae O Māramatanga, and attended by a rōpū of Māori researchers from a range of diverse areas, the workshop focused on how Māori researchers can best communicate what are often complex messages to the media, with the aim of contributing key messages on issues that affect Māori lives.
