Elon is fortunate to have a wealth of experts on a wide range of topics. Working with the media is a valuable opportunity to promote scholarly ideas, inform a large audience and contribute to Elon’s impact on communities near and far.
Faculty expertise is particularly important in the context of univerisities’ educational missions of informing citizens and voters on critical issues. This conversation will explore the benefits of working with media, explain what types of expertise and research may appeal to news organizations, and share with faculty the resources available to them through the Office of University Communications.
Of particular interest to many faculty members in recent years is the Elon University Writers Syndicate. In line with its value of civic engagement, Elon University developed the Elon University Writers Syndicate to provide newspapers with guest columns authored by experts in their fields on topics of interest to residents of North Carolina and beyond. The syndicate is managed by the Elon University News Bureau in coordination with faculty contributors.
