Getting Heritage research into the right hands
November 16, 2006| By Nathaniel Ward
It’s not enough that Heritage’s experts simply publish their papers. We need to ensure that decision-makers in government and the private sector see our research. Fortunately, our Communications and Marketing office, our External Relations office and other departments are very good at what they do.
Here are two recent examples of their success in taking Heritage’s message of conservative reform to the right people.
- Yesterday’s issue of “Stand To,” an e-mail newsletter sent early each morning to top military officials, pointed readers to a new paper by Heritage’s Mackenzie Eaglen on the need to properly equip the National Guard. Eaglen argues for a new modernization program to give the Guard the equipment it needs.
- A new paper on state-based health care reforms by Heritage experts Ed Haislmaier and Nina Owcharenko appears in the latest issue of Health Affairs, a leading health industry journal. They argue for consumer-based health care reforms combined with a restructuring of subsidies, which would allow individual choice in health care and help poor individuals purchase health coverage instead of subsidizing hospitals.
