Communications support for British Academy-funded researchers

If you are a British Academy-funded researcher and would like support to publicise your research, find out how to get in touch with the communications team.

Press

The British Academy has a small Media and Public Affairs team, whose role it is to engage the media and influential stakeholders – including Parliamentarians from across the Houses of Parliament – with the Academy’s work and connect them with fresh and pressing insights from our disciplines.

The team has a good track record of working with our funded researchers to package and present their findings to journalists and parliamentary stakeholders and can support with media training and coaching.

Press staff at the British Academy are looking for research to pitch to the media which:

  • Provides new findings, data, outcomes, opinions or recommendations
  • May be relevant to a topic currently in the news
  • Has a human-interest angle, e.g. real-life anecdotes, case studies or a personal story
  • Has interesting images or video - especially of previously unseen or rarely seen things

For more information, get in touch with the Media & Public Affairs team at [email protected].

Digital
