    Abstract

    Now, more than ever, it is essential that statisticians engage actively and productively with media entities and individuals. Unfortunately, most statisticians don't do this. In this session, we will discuss the topic of 'how to talk with journalists'. We will benefit from the diverse perspectives of a panel of experts drawn from across different fields and countries, and learn about the why, whether, what, how and when of this engagement. Audience participation will be encouraged.
