Media blog for September 2008

Welcome to our new Epilepsy Action monthly media blog. It would be impossible to report on all our media coverage (you’ll see why if you visit our press releases page). I want to give you a snapshot of just some of the work we have been involved with to help raise awareness of epilepsy in the media - in the press, on the radio, online and on the television.
