Don Moynihan: Scholars often ask me what they can do, and this is a tangible thing. State and local media are, in particular, hungry for opinion pieces from experts. Lots of people targeting that media is more effective than lots of people trying to land that one NYT op-ed

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

Yes, local news outlets are best!

Which could be why the likes of Sinclair Media want to enshittify local media outlets.

Like ours

Absolutely. Attempting to write in to (or for!) the @nytimes.com from a perspective that doesn’t align with theirs re: what’s “fit to print” about the current election cycle should be considered a literal waste of time at this point. Go elsewhere, where it will have an effect.

A few of us who were/are engaged in public scholarship participated in a panel discussion at an annual meeting, and then followed up with our essays. "It is our responsibility to make the case to the public, without diluting the academic rigor." dx.doi.org/10.1080/0033...

Just writing my substack with not many followers has been a great way to bring attention to one aspect of Project 2025: how it impacts the LGBTQIA+ community

As are their readers!

Great idea. Doesn't matter what section you choose or if someone else is already doing it. The more the better.
