Since the College joined  the non-profit news organization The Conversation in January 2023, faculty members have published 41 articles on the site, accounting for more than 2 million total reads. Articles from The Conversation are regularly republished on online news sites such as Yahoo, Salon, PBS and MSN. 
 

All CofC faculty are encouraged to pitch and write articles, either on their own or through the communications team, for The Conversation. 
 

At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 1, the Office of Marketing and Communications will hold a virtual information session on Zoom for faculty to provide an overview of The Conversation’s editorial process and advice on pitching and writing articles. This session will be recorded, and the link shared via email. In the meantime, below are additional resources: 

• For those who are new to The Conversation, this short video provides a good overview. 
• Browse through the many training resources available on our Marketing and Communications page on The Hub. 
• Read articles on The Conversation (both those written by CofC faculty and other scholars from around the country) to become familiar with the site’s journalistic writing style. 
• Reach out to our communications team to talk through ideas for story pitches and to ask questions. Another great resource is your faculty colleagues who have already published on the site.
