Getting The Conversation Started for College of Charleston Faculty
The Office of Marketing and Communications will hold a virtual information session for faculty interested in publishing on The Conversation.
Since the College joined the nonprofit 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, Oct. 1, 2024, the Office of Marketing and Communications will hold a virtual information session on Zoom to provide faculty with 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 your faculty colleagues who have already published on the site for tips and insight.
