FAN #8 - Media
The 8th FAN session was held on Wednesday 12 May 2010 at the Champions Room, Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC).
This FAN session was part of a nationwide program entitled ‘The Catalyst Project - Improving Sports Media Coverage for Women' and was funded by the Australian Government through the Women's Leadership and Development program. 'The Catalyst Project' was managed by the Australian Womensport & Recreation Association.
This day-long introductory workshop was designed to help utilise new or social media tools to communicate with organisation members and volunteers. Topics such as learning how joining a Forum, how a Facebook page can work for your club or how Blogs and Twitter can convey information simply and easily to the right audience were covered. The workshop also covered traditional media such as newspaper and television.
At the conclusion of the workshop, a panel comprising of highly respected media professionals were on hand to discuss attendee questions, current media issues and thoughts which were raised throughout the day.
