Faculty/Staff and Student Interaction with the Media
The Communications Office coordinates all media relations, including visits and interviews with students, faculty and staff. If a member of the media is requesting to speak with a student, faculty or staff member, the Communications Office will contact the student, faculty or staff member and coordinate an interview or visit. Due to the time-sensitive nature of media relations, if a member of the Communications Office contacts a student, faculty or staff member about a media request, a response should be made to the office as soon as possible. If a reporter contacts a student, faculty or staff member directly, the student, faculty or staff member should direct the reporter to the Director or Assistant Director of Communications. Please note that, as a policy, the Communications Office does not allow students to be interviewed without a staff or faculty member present and, thus, phone interviews with students are prohibited. If a reporter is attempting to contact a student by phone, the student should contact the Communications Office as soon as possible.
Reporting news
The Communications Office works closely with media outlets statewide to publicize student and faculty/staff accomplishments, accolades and events. If you have any news or events for which you would like the media notified, please e-mail communications@ncssm.edu
