Depending on the site, they may also allow you to bypass the submission and vetting process of traditional media organizations. As the name implies, self-publishing allows you to maintain control over the content of the articles that appear online.\r\n<h2>Examples of self-publishing sites<\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nMedium is an online publishing platform launched in 2012 that hosts blog posts from both amateur and professional writers and publications. The site allows users to have complete control over the style and content of the articles that they post. While this means that the site may be home to some articles containing misinformation or junk science, it can be a valuable tool for researchers and organizations to get the word out about their work in a relatively short period of time. A good example of an effective Medium user is <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@d_spiegel\">David Spiegelhalter<\/a>, the chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Spiegelhalter is notable for using Medium to apply his expertise as a science communicator and statistician to comment on current events, debunk misinformation, and provide critiques of recent publications, all with very few time and style constraints.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1712\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"641\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/wintoncentre\/what-are-the-risks-of-covid-and-what-is-meant-by-the-risks-of-covid-c828695aea69\"><img class=\"wp-image-1712 \" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/missionmessagemedium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/855\/2020\/08\/Screen-Shot-2020-08-10-at-6.47.00-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot of Dr. Spiegelhalter Article on Medium\" width=\"641\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a> The website Medium can be a valuable space to provide time-sensitive commentary on current events or to discuss research in a less formal way than traditional journalism media.[\/caption]\r\n<h3><\/h3>\r\n<h3><strong>Science Borealis<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/scienceborealis.ca\/\">Science Borealis<\/a> is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that supports science writers and aims to increase public awareness of Canadian science.

However, your work may be noticed by a much smaller audience than if the content was published in more institutional publications. In many cases, you will need to have a strategy to share the content through spaces such as social media or newsletters. It's not enough to just put the information out there\u2014you have to direct people to it. As a reminder, adding visuals can always make your article stand out and get your message across. For further examples of blog posts, see below for past posts written as a part of this course.\r\n<h1>Op-eds<\/h1>\r\nThe op-ed section of print newspapers and online news sites feature articles written by someone not employed by the news organization or affiliated with the editorial board. Op-eds can be a valuable tool for getting information out about your particular issue into a high-visibility publication, particularly if the issue is timely. Submissions are reviewed by an editorial staff meaning that it can sometimes be challenging to get your piece accepted and published, particularly in the more well-known newspapers. If you need to publish a series of articles, op-eds are not the ideal medium because news outlets will be unlikely to publish repeated articles from the same author.
