From Publication to the Public Expanding your research beyond academia

What are the benefits – expected and unexpected — of translating your research for the general public?

• How do you pitch your research story to the media?
• When writing for the media or the public, how do you frame the topic to be explored so it is relevant outside of the research community?

Hear Maria Balinska, Editor of The Conversation US, previously of BBC London, and a 2010 Nieman Fellow at Harvard (need we say more?) address these questions in this one-hour webinar. She also presents some success stories from other researchers as well as one place to start for you and your colleagues – The Conversation US, an independent, non-profit media organization that publishes news analysis and commentary written by academics and edited by journalists aimed at the general public. (In other words, a team of professional editors who work with scholars like yourselves to apply their expertise to topical issues and to unlock their cutting edge research, all at no cost to you.)
