Baruch College is cited daily in the national and international media. Here are some statistics from January through March 2006:

ABORTION STUDY BY ZICKLIN PROFESSOR DRAWS MEDIA ATTENTION The New England Journal of Medicine is the most influential publication in its field, so Ted Joyce, professor of economics and academic director of the Baruch/Mt. Sinai MBA Program in Health Care Administration, wasn’t surprised when his research on “Changes in Abortions and Births and the Texas Parental Notification Law” prompted the media to call. But he wasn’t quite prepared for the volume of coverage—a veritable blitzkrieg of phone calls and requests for in-person interviews. The Texas study showed that parental notification laws did indeed have an effect: they led to a decline in the procedure among teens, especially 15- and 16-year-olds. But researchers were also able to show a spike in second trimester terminations, as young women seeking to bypass the laws put off their procedures until after their 18th birthday. That, says Joyce, has disturbing public health implications. In the week after his study of Texas teens hit print, news organizations rushing to cover the story included Reuters, the Associated Press, ABC, and the New York Times, as well as the Dallas Morning News, the Washington Post, the Miami Herald, the Houston Chronicle, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, the Charleston Gazette, the Akron Beacon Journal, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and the Baltimore Sun, and many others.
