The
news media is an important avenue for disseminating scholarly research findings
to a broader audience. NCA regularly
disseminates media advisories and news releases to inform
reporters about our members’ scholarship. This effort has led to
substantial coverage.
Experts Database
To
help us with this effort, please consider joining the NCA Database of Experts in Communication Scholarship Topics, which is
comprised of members who are subject-matter experts willing to speak with
reporters. NCA media relations
professionals use this database to actively pitch topical experts to reporters
and to respond to requests from reporters for expert interviews.
