Stempra guide to being a press officer

The Stempra guide to being a press officer is intended as a map to help navigate through science PR, rather than a code of conduct. It should provide useful advice to everyone from newcomers and those who tackle science issues as a small part of a much wider remit, as well as the more experienced amongst us. We hope it provides a useful starting point and gets everyone talking.

The guide covers the following topics:

Promoting research responsibly
Press releases
Distributing your press release
Managing collaborative stories
Embargoes
Preparing your scientists
PR stunts
Working with agencies and freelancers
