6.1 Communication Channels

Inasmuch as possible, all communications with media (newspapers, radio, TV) should be through the Office of the Director of Public Relations. When events occur on campus that might be the focus of attention from area media, the Director of Public Relations should be notified so that s/he might be prepared if calls are received. Campus personnel, including faculty members, should channel requests for information from media to the office of the Director of Public Relations. Exceptions to this policy would be areas where communication between the media and the College is regular and predictable, such as people in athletics and the local media.

The Office of Public Relations also handles all publishing and printing that takes place on campus. A Publications Manual is available from this office that describes the type of services they render and the responsibilities on the part of the user that go with their services. Call the Office of Public Relations for a copy of the manual.
