Big picture guiding principles

• It is not about you – but how your research / analysis can help the journalist / your owned audience.

• Simplify, simplify, simplify – “translate” your research for the average lay person. This is the value of university communications offices / external support.

• Commitment and time required – but huge potential in ROI.

• In most cases, an article just online is better than an article only in print.

• Have fun and learn in the process!
