ABSTRACT Drawing on Buckingham’s observation that academic research either has to become public knowledge or its originators must have a high visibility in the public realm before their research can find inclusion into policymaking processes, this article offers a variety of examples of how academics have managed to bridge the gap between media and communication policy scholarship and policymaking. Contrary to the long-standing belief that policy impact is extremely difficult and rare to achieve, we argue that junior scholars have many opportunities to have their work become part of the policymaking process through new forms of conversation, collaboration, coalition-building, changing perceptions of public knowledge, and a more conceptual understanding of impact.

从实践到实用主义：初级学者和政策影响

摘要 根据 Buckingham 的观察，学术研究要么必须成为公共知识，要么其发起者必须在公共领域具有很高的知名度，然后才能将其研究纳入政策制定过程，本文提供了各种示例，说明学术界如何设法弥合媒体和传播政策奖学金与政策制定之间的差距。与长期以来认为政策影响极其困难且难以实现的信念相反，我们认为，初级学者有很多机会通过新形式的对话、合作、联盟建设、改变观念，让他们的工作成为政策制定过程的一部分。公共知识，以及对影响的更概念性理解。
