Standing on the Stage of Terror
Saint Louis University’s Center for the Study of Bioterrorism and Health Communication Research Laboratory is hosting “Standing on the Stage of Terror”, a one-day workshop on dealing with the media during a chemical, radiological, or bioterrorism crisis. It will be held on June 17, 2004 at the Renaissance St. Louis Hotel Airport in St. Louis, Missouri. Attendance at this workshop is limited to 150 invited attendees nationally.

This workshop will focus on the best methods for using mass media during a catastrophic chemical, radiological, or bioterrorism crisis. It promises to be a high-profile event that will bring together media experts with public health officials, who must work hand-in-hand with the media during a crisis.

Morning sessions will identify strategies for effective public communication in the event of a biological, chemical, or radiological terrorism attack. The afternoon session will focus on strategies to enhance on-camera presentations.

Key presenters include Julius Hunter, SLU Vice President for Community Relations and former anchor/reporter at KMOV, St. Louis, MO; and Nancy Stafford, television actress, professional speaker, author, TV host, and media consultant.
