Be an expert source for the media

Reliable sources are essential for strong journalism. AGU frequently connects reporters with experts in our community to comment on new research and emerging events relevant to the Earth and space sciences.

Members of the press might be interested in talking about:

  • Your research!
  • Your colleagues’ research (this is called an “outside source” or “outside comment”)
  • Current events (e.g., a hurricane, an earthquake, a wildfire)
  • Current sociopolitical events (e.g., elections, science funding)

If you a scientist who’s willing to talk with the media, use this form to let us know you are interested in being in our private database of topical experts for the media and what you topics you are comfortable discussing with members of the press. AGU’s media relations team will get in touch to learn more about you, your media experience, preferred modes of contact, and comfort talking to the press about science and sensitive issues.
