The Conversation

The Conversation is a nonprofit, independent news organization dedicated to unlocking the knowledge of experts for the public good. We publish trustworthy and informative articles written by academic experts for the general public and edited by our team of journalists.

At TheConversation.com (and through distribution of our articles to thousands of news outlets worldwide), you’ll find explanatory journalism on the events, discoveries and issues that matter today. Our articles share researchers’ expertise in policy, science, health, economics, education, history, ethics and most every subject studied in colleges and universities. Some articles offer practical advice grounded in research, while others simply provide authoritative answers to questions that sparked our curiosity.

The Conversation U.S. is part of a global group of news organizations founded in Australia in 2011 by Andrew Jaspan, a former newspaper editor who wanted to encourage academics to engage with the public, and Jack Rejtman. Jaspan led the U.S. launch in October 2014. Our main newsroom is in Boston, with editors working remotely in cities across the country.

There are also editions in Africa, Australia, Canada, France, Indonesia, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom.

You can help

One of DFAs core missions is to share our beliefs and values with others. We do this, in part through this website. But we also encourage people to share their opinions in local media.

Please consider sharing your thoughts by mailing them to the Gettysburg Times, to Gettysburg Connection, or to other state or national newsrooms.

Don’t know how to write a good Letter to the Editor? These brief guidelines, put together by our own Gettysburg College English Instructor Will Lane, will be a great help to you.

If everyone commits to writing one letter per month, each on a different topic, then we can vastly increase the visibility of DFA’s issues.
