About the IEA Communications


The IEA brings a free-market perspective to the political and economic arena through numerous interviews and appearances on television, radio, online and in print.

Each year, the IEA is featured over 4,000 times in the media on outlets across the world. We have a wide array of spokespeople including researchers, fellows, Shadow Monetary Policy Committee members and authors. They are experts in their field and believe keenly in communicating thoughtful and vital ideas in the public arena. You will read their ideas in national newspapers, hear them across local and national radio, and watch them on programmes such as BBC Question Time and news channels both in the UK and abroad.

We comment on a wide array of policy areas, from banking, pensions, taxation, public spending, foreign aid, social policy, immigration, welfare and much more.
