CNPEA is looking for expert media delegates and you could be one of them!
The Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse wishes to provide a coherent and unified voice on key points relating to elder abuse. Our communications policy and practices are guided by the belief that the CNPEA should be a credible, forthcoming source of information on elder abuse across Canada.
With this goal in mind, we are curating a list of designated expert delegates to help us respond to increasing media requests requiring a specific geographic response or area of expertise.
We will refer journalists to designated expert media delegates for their specific expertise on a particular topic or geographic area (ex: financial institutions’ response to financial abuse in Manitoba). When experts from our membership are asked to respond to a media request they must clearly state that they are not speaking on behalf of the CNPEA, but they are encouraged to promote the role of the network in their statement/interview.
ROLE
Expert Media Delegates will be expected to:
- provide responses in keeping with CNPEA's values
- respond to media requests within an acceptable time frame
- clearly state that they are not speaking on behalf of the CNPEA
- take particular care to detect and address any form of bias or ageism in the formulation of a question and feel comfortable deflecting or reframing said question.
If you are interested in becoming an expert media delegate, let us know a bit more about yourself and your experience through this short form.We will contact you shortly after receiving your application.
We look forward to hearing from you!
