If a journalist is interested in talking to you or your group, we recommend you politely decline. The situation is likely to be in flux for a few weeks at least, and we think media interviews could be more challenging than usual. In a few weeks, we might be able to provide advice or media training, but right now we do not have the capacity to do so. Feel free to let us know if you’re getting media requests (media@centreforeffectivealtruism.org) and we can prioritize advice.
The CEA’s advice for group organizers also has some guidelines about what to do if journalists contact you, so that might be helpful.
