Media Relations

Having the confidence to mediate effectively between journalists and organization leaders is something that comes naturally to me thanks to a decade of TV journalism experience and – for more than five years – consulting executives, administrators, and doctors in public relations.

Virtual press conferences seem to be common after the pandemic. Here’s a clip from one Intermountain Healthcare’s media relations team did live on Facebook (Oct. 20, 2021).

My role in this conference was to draft a press release featuring Intermountain’s contribution to a genetic discovery published in Nature – Communications Biology, pull together doctors and scientists from Intermountain and deCODE genetics in Iceland, and provide talking points for Dr. Lincoln Nadauld, Intermountain’s VP, Chief of Precision Health and Academics.
