How to Work with the Media

The director of public relations and designees (news and information manager or communications manager) serve as the college’s principal contacts with the print and electronic media. Faculty members approached by a media representative regarding any matter of college business should refer such inquiries immediately to the public relations department for facilitation. The news and informant manager and the communications manager both welcome information from the faculty about professional activities, student accomplishments, innovative courses or teaching strategies, special events, or other developments of potential interest to the external media outlets or to internal audiences, such as BCnow on the college Web site. Having such information on a timely basis helps the public relations department bring such important matters to the attention of the college’s various publics.
