A changing media landscape means more opportunities for Ohio State to tell our own stories, directly to our audiences. But it’s not easy. One example: It can be difficult for senior leaders, profs and star researchers to invest enough time and energy to really get a blog off the ground.
The new Buckeye Voices blog runs with that challenge.
Buckeye Voices is an attempt to showcase Ohio State stars taking on a wide range of topics, from the neuroscience behind fond memories to a personal reflection on Nelson Mandela’s death. I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to attract guest writers that include not only faculty but also staff, stand-out students and alumni who want to share their great stories.
It brings it back what I’ve loved about Ohio State since I came to school here: at a place with Ohio State’s size and resources, you can do anything.
We’ll promote on buckeyevoices.osu.edu, through a #BuckeyeVoices hashtag on Twitter, and in products like Connect e-news. (We’re also working to integrate these essays with print publications.)
