Journalists across the country rely on DePaul University faculty experts to provide insight on news of the day. Faculty members who share their expertise with the news media reinforce DePaul's academic reputation and also provide a public service by deepening the public's understanding of important issues, research and scholarship.
Faculty who wish to serve as expert sources are encouraged to join the
DePaul Newsroom Experts Guide, a searchable database designed for journalists. It is updated regularly, but faculty must opt-in to the guide by creating a profile. The guide was updated recently, and nearly 300 faculty are currently listed.
