Teachers College is one of the first places many reporters turn to for help. Every year, our faculty are featured in stories on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Dallas Morning News, the Los Angeles Times and other publications.
Responses by the faculty to media queries help ensure that the public is getting accurate information about education today. It also benefits the College in many ways. Positive stories about our research can be added to the list of reasons why a foundation or government agency should underwrite the cost of faculty and student projects, for example. They also help the College compete for the best students in the nation.
