New course: Information overloadbeat
the
bumphMonday, 13 May 1996, 9.15 a.m.5 p.m. (Week 0, TT)
In one week we get more information thrown at us than the average
nineteenth-century European had to cope with in an entire year. Do
you have a reliable strategy that makes you confident, assertive and
relaxed in dealing with this information overload? Or are you snowed
under with piles of paperwork, unnecessary meetings and
indecision?This seminar will equip you with a clear approach to face the
information jungle, remove clutter from your life and become focused
on what matters to you. At the end of the seminar you will have
acquired a technique to handle written documents, learned how to
sharpen your short- and long-term memory and practised how to assess
priorities.The sessions are presented by Kathryn Redway who currently
runs
our Rapid Reading seminar. Participants who want to gain maximum
benefit from the Beat the Bumph sessions are recommended also to
attend the Rapid Reading seminar, as the two seminars are designed to
complement each other.This new seminar is based on Ms Redway's latest book Beat
the Bumph. Each participant on the one-day seminar will be

Tuesday, 28 May 1996, 9.30 a.m.1 p.m. (Week 6, TT)
You may be rung up out of the blue by a journalist asking about your
work.
Or
you may want some publicity for a piece of your own research that you
think
is
of interest to a wider audience than the readership of the specialist
journals
in which you publish. How do you cope?During the session each participant will have the opportunity to
record
a
short interview with a radio journalist on a topic of his or her
choice.Topics covered will include:
- the mediawhat they are and how they work;
- help is at handthe role of the University Press Office;
- how to write a press release;

Dealing with the media (television):
advancedTuesday, 25 June 1996, 9.30 a.m.1 p.m. (Vacation)
Even experienced interviewees, such as politicians, take advantage of
professional advice to hone their skills. Academic staff who find
themselves
in the limelight from time to time can also benefit from taking a
little time
to think about how they face the press. By acquiring an understanding
of
how
journalists work, and by recognising how much power lies with the
interviewee,
you can develop a strategy for fruitful media relations that will
stand you in
good stead whether the news is good or bad.Each participant will be interviewed on video on a subject of
his or her
choice, once at the beginning of the session and again at the end.
The taped
interviews will be played back and discussed.Topics covered during the session will include:
- at your conveniencewhen you can choose the time and place;
- how to make sure you put your story across effectively;
- when to say no;
- dress and deportment on TV;
- the difference between live and recorded interviews.
Participants will be asked to prepare a press release on a topic
of their
choice in advance of the session, using a set of notes for guidance
provided
by the presenters. The number of participants will be restricted to
eight, so
that everyone has the chance to be interviewed twice.Return to List of Contents of the supplement
