Find the Right MSU Extension Expert for Your Story

MSU Extension is committed to providing clear, timely information to support accurate, community-centered reporting across the state.

Are you a reporter looking for a source? You can:

• Use our staff directory, and filter your search by location and topic to reach out to one of our experts directly.
  
  
• Contact MSU Extension communications manager Audrey Etzin-Gagner with further questions or media inquiries.

We aim to respond as promptly as possible to media inquiries. But to help us help you, please provide a thorough media request with all the necessary information, including your deadline, interview format, and the type of information you're looking for.

If we do not have an expert who can help you, we often can refer you to other experts or organizations we work with, both internal and external to MSU, who are more suited.
