I agree that a media page is a very good idea, and am happy  to help. I’ve gone to a number of workshops for academics working with the media over the years…it’s a common challenge in most fields.

>> Would it be worth having a "Media" or "Journalists" page on the SIGCIS website, with a prominent link from the home page? Yes, we already have a Member Directory with contact information, but given the disconnect we seem to have with the press, having a page directly addressed to them might help. (Exactly what we would put on the Media page is another question.)

Yes.

I volunteer to work on that.

Sounds like we need better SEO.
