ABSTRACT
In this chapter, Hazel Price describes her work in the area of health communication, specifically, her research on the language of mental health and illness and how these topics are discussed in the UK news media. She discusses how she communicated this linguistic research outside of academia and describes the challenges and opportunities for researchers communicating linguistic research, drawing on her own experience. In particular, she focuses on building a public engagement plan into a research project from the outset in order to increase the researcher’s chance of success in communicating their findings outside the academy.
