SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2008—American Medical Association

 

At this year’s conference Dr. Simbra will be moderating a session titled Writing and producing TV health news: Everything you need to know. This workshop is designed for individuals looking to become true broadcast professionals. Participants will have the hands-on opportunity to learn the basic terminology describing the combined elements that make a news package.

 

“With so many ways for people to get health and medical news today, it's important to be able to communicate and report medical information accurately, succinctly, and understandably. Not as easy as it sounds! It takes insight, practice and know-how.” commented Dr. Simbra.

 

Those who attend Dr. Simbra's session will have the chance to learn how to write in the active style to be heard, versus read, on the printed page; how to improve video story telling, and how to choose (and elicit) compelling news bites from interview subjects.
