What role does the populat press play in my research?

What does a journalist do?

After engaging with some academic articles, I think many of you are realizing how challenging it can be to engage with scholarship. A journalist has many jobs, but one of them is to engage with that scholarship, interview scholars and other stakeholders and make the information in research relevant and comprehendible to their readers.

Another important function of the press is to elevate viewpoints from different sides of an issue. How does a policy or trend affect a population, a location, a business, etc.?
