Submit a Potential News Item
Media Deadlines and Lead Times
"In the News" Experts List
Speakers Bureau |
We encourage MCC faculty, staff and students to submit story ideas they
feel may be of interest to others outside the college. When you submit
an idea, remember the 5 W’s: Who, What, When, Where, Why. Answer
these 5 W’s and you provide us with a good start in developing the
background and story pitches for our local media.
Also, what makes the story unique or newsworthy? Is there
any visual excitement to the story? Provide us with as much detail as
possible and make sure you include a contact phone number and/or email
where we can follow up with you should we have questions prior to releasing
the information to the media. Please submit information directly to Lora Lassitter.
Some Helpful Tips:
• Submit items to be publicized a minimum of three weeks in advance
of the program and/or event. Please call Lora Lassitter with specific questions
at (480) 518-5138. Lead times vary depending on media outlets used.
• News requests or submissions do not guarantee publication. The
media ultimately decides who and what stories it will cover.
• The Office of Institutional Advancement serves as the FIRST point
of contact for the media to provide accurate and timely information. For
this reason, we value your input and updates on campus news. |
