The Office of Media Relations is Dickinson's source of information for the media, the Dickinson community and the public. The office publicizes events and activities to generate stories featuring the college's faculty, students, staff, alumni and programs. The office responds to requests from reporters for experts on a variety of subjects and for the college's viewpoint on major issues and trends in higher education. TIP: Media, especially national outlets, are generally less interested in events and speakers unless the events are unusual and the speakers are prominent and not typically accessible. Primarily they are looking for stories that have conflict, are quirky, show a trend (three or more is a trend), have broad appeal, or segment new or interesting research, studies or science (that can show some application). Local media is always looking for ways to localize a national story, find stories that will appeal to their local audience, and reflect what is happening in the community. Because local media has more of a willingness to report on events and speakers, local outlets are sent the most information on events, speakers, and activities on campus. If you have a Dickinson-related story that might interest the news media, or an event that you would like to be publicized, please contact Christine Dugan. EXTRA Features is a biweekly online "publication" that highlights events, activities and people around the college. The staff is always looking for stories on people, programs, projects and accomplishments to share with the Dickinson community. Send your story ideas to : sulonb@dickinson.edu or collinsk@dickinson.edu. The Compass is an electronic bulletin board, updated daily to provide the latest news, events and announcements to the Dickinson community. Event listings submitted to The Compass are included in the The Morning Rush which is sent to subscribers every morning at 8 a.m., Friday’s Compass e-mail, which is sent to everyone on campus, and the Calendar of Events, which is sent to the media. The staff also uses The Compass as a source for generating news releases about events. You can review submission guidelines and deadlines and send event information by using the online form. News releases serve as generators for story ideas as well as calendar of events listings in area newspapers. News releases are written and sent to the media highlighting many events and activities on campus. These releases are generally written from the information entered into The Compass. Ideally, releases are sent three weeks in advance of an event for maximum media exposure. Student writers: Electronic and Web Communications Electronic and Web Communications

Dickinson Clubs A cornerstone to club programming is the “Dickinson on the Road” luncheon/dinner/lecture series, which affords alumni, parents and friends of the college around the world an opportunity to hear Dickinson College faculty and administrators speak about their many areas of expertise. If you participate in a club event, a trip may take you away from campus for several hours or several days. The Office of College Relations will make all of the necessary arrangements (and pay) for your travel and accommodations. Speakers derive their topics from their areas of expertise, current research, current events or areas of personal interest. The audience is varied and very responsive to interactive and interesting topics. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Rick Delgiorno at delgiorr@dickinson.edu or by phone at (717) 245-1571. Photography

Events that involve student/faculty collaboration or guest speakers in classes and labs are of particular interest. Videography

Submitting News The staff strives to provide a breadth of information about faculty, students, staff and alumni. Editorial decisions are based on several factors, including timeliness, interest for a national—not just local—audience and the relationship to a particular theme the magazine is exploring. There are more great stories being generated by Dickinsonians than can possibly be printed within the confines of our magazine. but the staff always likes to hear about what you’re doing. Information is sometimes held for later issues, so please send it along. The staff will also share your news with other publications on campus. If you have questions or a story idea for the magazine, contact Senior Editor Sherri Kimmel at kimmel@dickinson.edu or (717) 245-1067; or Associate Editor Barbara Stambaugh at stambaub@dickinson.edu or (717) 245-1407.Contact Us For questions or more information regarding any of the responsibilities listed above, please contact: |
