ADA Spokespeople Mailing Information

Welcome to the American Dietetic Association’s Spokespeople mailing information section.

Each year, ADA’s national network of media Spokespeople conducts well over 2,500 interviews in print, TV, radio and electronic media, reaching tens of millions of people in the US and increasingly around the world. ADA’s media Spokespeople, past Spokespeople and state media representatives keep up with current research, science and news. In their media interviews, they take a positive approach to promoting the relationship between good health and diet and communicate messages that reflect solid science and research. ADA Spokespeople are strategically located in the nation’s top media markets and all have special areas of expertise in addition to their ability to discuss general food and nutrition topics. ADA also has specialists in Latino nutrition and African-American nutrition.

In addition to the Spokesperson program, ADA works with a network of more than 93 registered dietitians serving as volunteer state media representatives. Located in each of the 50 states, state media representatives spread the Association’s healthful-eating messages primarily to journalists in their local communities.

ADA offers organizations the opportunity to distribute information to our network of national media Spokespeople, past Spokespeople and state media representatives. All materials must be reviewed and approved by ADA’s Public Relations Team and Knowledge Center, prior to distribution.
