## Resource

Shannon Beattie, founder of Bush and Beyond Media, joins Ag Watchers to talk all things agricultural communication, storytelling and media. The conversation covers the difference between communications and marketing, why authenticity matters more than ever, and how agricultural industries can turn complex research, policy and technical information into messages people actually want to hear. Shannon also shares her views on presentation skills, the changing media landscape, the role of podcasts and social media, and why chasing viral content is often less useful than reaching the right audience with the right message. It is a practical and wide-ranging discussion for anyone involved in agriculture, advocacy, extension, media or industry communication.
