About us
Kansas State University Media Relations staff members work daily with the campus community to publicize all aspects of the university through media outlets and the university's Web site, the K-State News Insider blog, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook and e-mail lists. We consult campus offices, schools and departments to promote professors, student achievements, programs, research and events to external audiences and the news media. Our contacts include both traditional and new media. Priorities for news coverage are based on K-State's Strategic Plan (pdf). We monitor K-State news coverage in print and electronic media.
We write media advisories and news releases, pitch stories to reporters, identify media opportunities, arrange media interviews, plan and manage news conferences, assemble media kits and monitor K-State's print and electronic news coverage. We produce video for K-State's YouTube EDU channel. We also keep track of achievements by K-State faculty, students and staff.
We provide an online media guide to assist reporters and editors in finding expert sources. Faculty who wish to be included in the Media Guide may send a note to media@k-state.edu.
We publish K-Statement, a weekly faculty-staff newsletter, and Perspectives webzine.
Media training is available to individuals and small groups upon request. Media Relations services are provided free of charge to the campus community.
Photo Services is a sub-unit of media relations and provides high quality professional photography to the university community at low cost.
