Writing for The Conversation

Share your research with a wider audience
The Conversation is an independent, not-for-profit news analysis and publisher where academics provide an informed view on topical issues.
Our University is an institutional member of The Conversation and our articles attract significant global readership, with 75% read by international audiences. We have 476 academics signed up to write for The Conversation.
One great feature is that academics work with a journalist on their article and, unlike most media, have final signoff on their article. You also get to see how many people have read your articles. This means it’s a good first step if you’re new to working with the media.
To submit a short pitch for consideration, contact our team or read the advice pages on The Conversation website.
Read some of our colleagues’ most popular articles – and find out how to get involved:
- Rhino: documentary unravels the challenges rangers face, but that’s not the whole story
- Most people are happy to do their own hearing tests at home – could it relieve pressure on the NHS?
- Psychedelics might help terminal patients find peace
- Dam disasters of the 1920s made reservoirs safer – now the climate crisis is increasing risk again
- Are peanut allergies declining?
- Why even pro-climate action organisations may pull in different directions
