Independent Subject Matter Expert Directory

Share your expertise with Arizona journalists seeking
credible, nonpartisan insight on the issues shaping our state.

Center for the Future of Arizona is launching the Arizona Media Institute early next year — a new initiative designed to support local journalism with verified data, resources, and connections to Arizona-based experts.

To be included in the Independent Subject Matter Expert Directory, please complete the form below using your most up-to-date information and write responses as you’d like them to appear in the directory.

Your information will be listed in a secure online directory on the Media Institute’s website — accessible by account login only to verified journalists.

Independent Subject Matter Experts share their own research, insights, and perspectives and do not represent Center for the Future of Arizona or the Arizona Media Institute.

You’ll hear from us early next year with next steps, details on what to expect, and confirmation when your profile is live. If you have any questions or need to update your information after submitting, contact us at [email protected].
