Sharing Information

We encourage you to share information so we can determine newsworthiness and the proper platform for potential use. Note that we can鈥檛 guarantee that all submissions will be used. 

To submit items for consideration, email publicity@csusm.edu鈥and include a clear subject line along with clear and concise information about your event or story suggestion. Be sure to include the 鈥渨ho, what, when, where and why.鈥 Requests should be submitted at least three weeks in advance.  

What We Do

Our goal is to facilitate coverage by print or digital news agencies, online outlets, and radio or television stations. Not all stories will garner media interest, but some can be featured on NewsCenter or 爆料社区 social media platforms.  

Our office is continually building relationships with local, state and national media in addition to responding to media inquiries from reporters seeking information and university experts. If you are contacted by a reporter, refer them to University Communications. We will serve as your liaison and work with the reporter to facilitate any interviews.  

We also work to pitch stories to the media about any grants, awards, etc.  

Consider the following before submitting a story idea:  

  • Is there a contact person who can speak about the subject?
  • Will that person be easily reachable and willing to speak?
  • Is there a compelling person at the center of the story?
  • For broadcast and social media: Is there something visual that can be shown?
  • Will the story appeal to a broad audience?
