Article Abstract:
An analysis of the relationship that academics have with the media and ways in which academics can improve the way they work with the media. It is argued that the media is important for academics, allowing them to publicise their work and institutions, as well as gaining valuable presentational skills, however, there is always the danger when working with the media that a momentary slip can result in the wrong impression of months of research being given, or that somebody who has no real understanding of a piece of research can edit it poorly in order to fit a time slot or a page.
