BU's new - which outlines the expertise of over 150 staff members - has been launched to a host of regional and national journalists.听
The Expert Directory, available as a printed听booklet and online, features profiles of BU staff who can share their expertise with the media through informed comment and news stories.听
Covering everything from Paralympic prosthetics to A Level results and the economy, the Expert Directory has been produced by BU鈥檚 press office to help journalists find the experts they need, via both name and expertise keywords.听 听
Academics from the university鈥檚 four Faculties 鈥� covering media, management, health, and science and technology 鈥� are listed in the Directory alongside student representatives and professional staff who can comment on education and student experience.

BU鈥檚 PR and Corporate Communications Manager Nathaniel Hobby said: 鈥淔rom Brexit to bones, tourism to tax evasion, our experts can comment on a wide range of topics as well as sharing insight, opinion and analysis on news stories.
听
鈥淲e hope the Expert Directory will become a valuable resource for journalists to quickly and easily find experts to add comment and context to stories in the news.鈥�
The Directory has been shared with a range of regional and national journalists - including The Guardian, Times Higher Education, BBC South, and Blackmore Vale Magazine.听
