Duke encourages its faculty members and others to share their expertise with a wide range of audiences. One way to do this is by engaging with news media.
University Communications is available to help faculty and others prepare for interviews and become a source for reporters. To inquire about media training, contact Steve Hartsoe (steve.hartsoe@duke.edu).
Tips
- If a reporter calls/emails, what should you do? Information on how to prepare and participate in an interview are available here.
- University Communications works with faculty (and students) on writing and submitting op-eds to local and national news organizations. Contact Eric Ferreri (eric.ferreri@duke.edu) for more information and to discuss an op-ed idea. Tips on writing an effective op-ed are viewable here.
