Library Guides: Researcher Profiles, Identifiers and Engagement: Mass Media

Mass Media

Mass Media refers to when you or your research has been referred to in the media e.g. in newspapers, on the radio or on TV.

JCU Media and Communications team coordinates media interviews which showcase achievements, produce press releases and generate media coverage about JCU research. Contact the the Media and Communications staff if you have a research achievement that you think they may not know about e.g. because you are new to JCU or early in your research career.
