<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The Conversation's goal is to deliver accurate information directly to the public, with nothing taken out of context or otherwise filtered. The approach is to have professional
editors work directly with faculty members and researchers to create compelling articles that shed light on timely topics through the lens of scholarship. The articles take the form of commentary and news analysis, and take on issues across the academic spectrum,
from arts, culture and religion to science, health, politics, technology and the environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The Conversation makes all of its articles available at no charge to any news organization that wants to republish them. In addition, The Associated Press distributes The Conversation
articles to newsrooms across the country.<o:p></o:p></p>
