The Office of Marketing and Communications will notify local media about any event that you designate as "public" on the online calendar.

With sufficient advance notice (at least four weeks), this will usually ensure that your event appears in The Day's calendar section and on other event calendars in the region. Marketing and Communications updates media every month in advance of all the public events at the College. Please make sure your event, including all the details, is listed on the College calendar by the 15th of the month preceding your event so it can be included.

Securing additional media coverage will depend on whether the media perceive your event as unique or unusual. The only sure way to get something in the paper is to buy an ad. However, we may be able to interest media in your event if it is the first of its kind or part of a larger trend; integrally involves students; or has a "human interest" connection or local angle. To discuss possible newspaper or television coverage of your event, contact Director of Media Relations Christina Flowers, cflowers@conncoll.edu.

Visit the "Promoting Your On-Campus Event" section for the steps suggested by the Office of Marketing and Communications for optimum exposure for your event.

As faculty and staff, your willingness to work with the media can enhance the reputation of the College and of your work. Members of the media may ask you to comment on current trends or issues or serve as a source. If a reporter calls you, please contact Director of Media Relations Christina Flowers, cflowers@conncoll.edu, who will help you prepare for the interview. Remember, it is important to respond to reporters in a timely manner. If you are unable to return a media call, or would prefer not to, please refer the reporter to Christina.
