What is Media/Academic Speaking?

Media speaking involves communicating with the general public through platforms such as TV, radio, and editorial content. Its primary purpose is to simplify and convey complex psychological concepts in an accessible manner, often to educate and inform about current events or general mental health topics. Academic speaking targets fellow professionals, students, or scholars, often at conferences, seminars, or academic institutions. Here, the emphasis is on sharing research, discussing theoretical frameworks, and contributing to the scholarly progression of the field, using a more formal and detailed approach.
