We are creating a register of subject matter specialists from within our alumni community to share with media contacts. This initiative aims to connect our alumni with the media, providing journalists with access to informed perspectives. Regardless of where your expertise lie, your knowledge can make a difference in how stories are told.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple. Our communications team will compile a register including names, areas of expertise, and the industries or sectors they represent. This register will be made available to select media contacts via email. When a journalist seeks an expert for an interview, they can refer to our register. The ARLF communications team will facilitate the initial connection, ensuring that the right specialist is matched with the media inquiry.
