Overcoming barriers to media presence—such as stereotypes, a lack of media training among nurses, and the media's traditional focus on physicians as spokespeople—is  crucial. Nurses can increase their visibility by engaging with media through training, building journalist relationships, utilizing social media, and contributing to publications.

 

Utilizing media as an advocacy tool is also vital. By speaking on issues like patient safety and health policy, nurses can shift the healthcare dialogue. Pioneers  like Alice Benjamin show us how to exemplify the power of nurses to harness media, advocate for the profession, and enhance public health discourse.
