media relations
Indiana State University Media Relations works to tell the Indiana State story throughout Indiana and Illinois, with particular emphasis on the Indianapolis and northwest Indiana markets, as well as nationally and internationally. Media Relations produces news releases, feature stories and multi-media packages that showcase experiential learning, community outreach, and research.
With experience in newspaper, radio and television newsrooms in three states, ISU media relations professionals understand the media's needs and can provide materials that are "ready to print" or "ready to roll" in a variety of formats.
Features produced by ISU Media Relations regularly air on WFIU, the NPR member station serving Bloomington and Terre Haute. A broadcast studio in Gillum Hall is available for live or "as live" interviews of faculty and staff with radio stations around the world.
In cooperation with ISU Communications & Marketing's video production unit, the Media Relations team produces feature stories about the university, students, faculty and staff for the "Kevin McKenna Show," which airs weekly during basketball season on WFXW, Fox 38 in Terre Haute.
ISU Media Relations also produces "Indiana State Connection," a newspaper for faculty, staff and friends of the university; and compiles and disseminates a daily electronic newsletter for the campus community.
The areas of responsibility for each media relations staff member area
outlined in a "beat system" similar to that used by the media. For more
