F&S Media Relations’ efforts are critical to helping share F&S information and stories to the campus community, and others within the state, or regionally, and beyond.
Customer Relations & Communications (CRC) provides comprehensive media relations services, including news organization inquiry response, vendor marketing requests, intra-unit communication assistance, crisis communications, website news and alert updates, and social media engagement.
To help you better understand how your work responsibilities and assignments can benefit from this support, CRC is offering a new F&S’ Media Relations Training presentation, followed by a Q&A, that explains how the division can collaborate with you to assist with comprehensive response and development strategies whenever necessary.
The session is for team members wanting to learn more about the unit's media support services and interactions. We especially encourage attendance from any team members new to F&S whose responsibilities may involve:
- Interacting with accredited media organizations
- Responding to vendor requests to create multimedia content about campus work
- Supporting submissions for awards or recognition
The training will include an overview of:
- F&S Media Relations Policy
- Campus Administrative Manual site approval and testimonial policies
- Local media trends and engagement volume
- CRC's overall media response approach and strategies
