American Political Science Association Offers Expert Sources for Journalists Writing on Politics, Obama Administration

The American Political Science Association invites all journalists writing on politics and the Obama administration to use its MediaConnect service to find expert sources and scholars that can help provide context and analysis for ongoing or breaking news stories or topics related to politics. MediaConnect provides U.S. and international journalists with easy and rapid access to the expertise of hundreds of political scientists on all aspects of politics at the local, state, national, and international levels.

MediaConnect draws on a growing, self-selected pool of scholars that are members of the Association and who are interested in responding to press inquiries. This pool is diverse in terms of research topics -- including the full range of American and international politics -- as well as geography, gender, ethnicity, and type of institution of higher education.

Journalists interested in using this free service can contact the Association by emailing press@apsanet.org or can visit http://www.apsanet.org/content_1478.cfm?navID=7 for more information. Requests for sources or experts must include the following: name and affiliation of the requestor; contact information; relevant deadline; and brief description of the story.
