Media Resources
What is the SIOP Media Resources Database?
Reporters are increasingly seeking out SIOP members for their expert commentary on news stories. These are great opportunities to share our expertise with the general public and provide greater visibility for SIOP and its members.
SIOP has created a Media Resources Searchable Database to provide the media with ongoing contact information for credible authorities whom they can contact when preparing stories. The SIOP Media Resources Database is currently available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on the SIOP Web page, and reporters and news organizations have been notified of its availability. The Visibility Committee supports the work of a Public Relations consultant who extends SIOPs outreach into the world of news.
How Can I Sign Up?
You can register for the Media Resources Database on the SIOP Web site if you are interested in discussing your work and areas of expertise with the media.
Go to the SIOP Web site (www.siop.org).
Click on Update your areas of interest. You will need your SIOP member username and password to access the interest area page.
You will be asked to indicate your top three areas of expertise (choose from the list provided) and provide a brief description of your specific expertise in each area. Rely on key words to keep your description brief. Reporters are often interested in trendy and less traditional workplace topics, so be sure to describe your expertise in these areas as well. If you are willing to talk with a reporter, click the yes button.
Please keep in mind that reporters are usually working on a 1 or 2 day deadline and need a quick response. So, if you register for the Media Resources Database, you must be willing to respond very quickly to reporters queries.
Please consider registering for Media Resources and help to make I-O more visible!
