#AcademicTwitter What do we do again with journalists who ask for our help to clarify for them concepts, connect them to key sources, and explain historical context, then publishes an article with just one throwaway link to your study? This has happened too many times 1/3

They don't have to quote you, but you don't have to keep doing their work for them either--and it's often the star academic or the CEO that gets the quote, not the one from a more marginal community/background that spent a lot of time providing details and frameworks.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Also: Send your current title/affiliation in an email. Journalists frequently Google you and find old bios/CVs.

The other thing I also always do is offer to connect them to other academics whose expertise could round out or add to the story well beyond mine, and I make specific decisions on whom I recommend to amplify perspectives. (Obvs I share with only known-good journalist partners.)
