The result is that my work is undoubtedly overrepresented in media stories about these things, despite there being other people who work on it. (Whose work I am highly grateful for!) After awhile these things become self-reinforcing; you see a lot of the same ppl on nuke stories.
I do sort of worry about this, because there are lots of people who have interesting takes and expertise. I do try to point reporters to others who have important things to say and do important work (like Brooke Buddemeier, in this particular article).

But in its own way that just makes me a gatekeeper of sorts, which is just another version of the same problem (even if I try to be good about it).

I'm not sure what the answer is, other than other experts needing to up their online presences, but that takes more than just making a nice-looking faculty website.

There have been several attempts to create "expert network" sorts of sites, where reporters or whomever could look people up that way. I don't know how useful they have been. At least relative to the Google effect, which is clearly much more powerful.
