The WSU Center for Arts and Humanities presented an op‑ed workshop by Brian Rosenwald, co‑founder and senior editor of The Washington Post’s “Made by History,” and has made it available to you at on the CAH website, cah.wsu.edu/events-and-programing. Rosenwald’s Jan. 18 Zoom presentation for WSU students, faculty, & staff digs into reasons to write for the public and how to do it.
He covers everything from the benefits of writing for general audiences to how to write various types of op‑eds, how to pitch ideas to editors, and how to publicize your work both within and outside of the academy. He addresses the differences stylistically between academic and public writing and how to adapt to the new form, benefits and downsides to social media, citations, and other elements of public scholarship.
