specifically - I was looking through a brochure from Georgia Tech on their continuing education program and ran across this interesting course:
T2N-128
Becoming Media Wise: How to Work with the News Media Instructor: Kirk Englehardt
Thursdays, March 10-April 14
$120
"The media can help you develop a positive public image or paint you as a villain. Learn the skills needed to score big with the press, while avoiding some common pitfalls. Through this interactive course you will examine media fairness, accuracy, and ethics while exploring the important role the press plays in a free society. "

I'm not sure what other Universities have in their continuing Education programs, but there might be some good nuggets that will ultimately help the cause.
