FAQs
Is there a story?
While we greatly value the work and accomplishments of all members of the COE community, please note that not every submission will be promoted through an external media release. In evaluating whether to pitch a story to local, state, or national media, the Media Relations team must consider several key factors. These include the timeliness and relevance of the story, the scope and significance of its impact, the timeframe and location of that impact, and its connection to current events at the local, state, or national level.
After reviewing your submission in light of these considerations, we will determine whether internal storytelling or an external media release is the most appropriate approach.
If your submission is selected for external promotion, a member of our team will follow up with next steps and a proposed timeline, based on the information provided in your intake form.
Is there a breaking news element?
Our Marketing and Communications team will prioritize submissions that are time-sensitive and directly tied to developing news, current events, or major announcements with a defined and urgent timeline.
Is the required information accurate and complete?
To ensure our team can efficiently and appropriately evaluate your request, it is essential that you provide the most accurate and complete information regarding your needs. Please indicate in your submission if the request is time-sensitive, including the specific date by which the information must be released. Additionally, include your contact information and availability so our team can follow up with you and coordinate media outreach as needed.
How to submit op-eds?
Please note that our Marketing and Communications team does not pitch op-eds on behalf of faculty and staff. However, we are happy to offer resources, guidance, and support to help you prepare your op-ed and navigate the pitching process, both before and after submission.
What to do if I directly contacted by media?
If you are a COE faculty or staff member and are contacted directly by the media, please complete the form so our team can assist in facilitating the interview and provide you with the necessary resources.
