As we've learned by reading through this chapter, interest groups can educate the general populace about matters of their concern in multiple ways. Foremost, field experts are generally attracted to interest groups which means that their public appearances are often based on concrete knowledge which they've acquired themselves or in cooperation with other experts, part of the same group.
