Company Profile

Company Description:

The Conversation US (TCUS) is an independent, non-profit media organization established in 2014 that publishes news analysis and commentary written by academics, edited by journalists, and aimed at the general public.  We are part of a global organization with counterparts in such countries as Australia, the United Kingdom and France.  Support for The Conversation comes from member universities, foundations and individual donors who support this unique form of trustworthy, evidence-based journalism. 
 
Our team of professional editors works with scholars from universities across the US to help them share their research and apply their expertise to topical issues. All our content is published under a Creative Commons license, which means we promote the free republication of our articles to other media organizations.  Time, Scientific American, Quartz, The Washington Post and Vice news are among our regular re-publishers.  Our copy is distributed by the AP and reaches all 50 states and news markets from Portland to Punxsutawney. 
 
Our mission is to produce and disseminate evidence-based information, and to strengthen journalism by unlocking the rich diversity of academic research for audiences across America.  This mission is supported by our development team which fosters collaborations with universities and colleges, attracts funding from foundations and philanthropists, and identifies new revenue opportunities that align with the mission.
