From my experience observing media engagement, sociologists often appear indirectly rather than as headline experts. I have seen them quoted to contextualize inequality, migration, or social conflict, but rarely foregrounded like economists. I would recommend viewing this as a visibility challenge rather than a relevance issue. Their influence is present, but often translated through journalists rather than attributed explicitly to sociological expertise.
