Editor's Corner
Have you ever wanted to do more in the media but haven’t been sure where to begin? Have you needed to talk to a group of parents in your community but didn’t know how other pediatricians have approached that same speaking engagement? Have you wanted to start a blog or podcast but weren’t sure just how? Then, you’ve come to the right place. The Council on Communications and Media is where you’ll find colleagues who can help you in all of these areas.
The Council on Communications and Media is all about tackling communications and media issues pediatricians need to work in the media world and the practice of pediatrics. Our Web site and blog are the cornerstones and mirror our work not only in the AAP but in our communities. Both technological spaces work in concert to provide you with the most up-to-date information about the media and media issues. They also give you a glimpse of the many ways we all use media to communicate health messages to as many families as we can.
Many people often ask me what the difference is between the COCM Web site and the COCM blog. The COCM Web site is really your media library while the COCM blog is more your op-ed space. Both areas are constantly being updated by our nine member COCM Editorial Advisory Board to help keep you up-to-date on the latest studies and media issues.
My virtual door is always open if you have ideas, suggestions or are interested in getting involved with either the Web site or blog.
Cheers!
Dr. Gwenn
COCM Web site and Blog Editor-In-Chief
