Pitching Stories

Sharing timely, topical story ideas with all forms of media–from print to podcast–is a top priority for the media relations staff. By monitoring and forecasting news trends and staying on top of media needs, journalists get story ideas audiences will find compelling. They also get access to experts who provide context and important viewpoints on a wide range of topics.

Social Media

On Twitter, @DsonMedia shares faculty expert commentary and stories about Dickinson people and programs. @DsonMedia also follows a variety of media outlets and journalists, allowing staff to monitor media coverage trends, stay on top of breaking news, engage with journalists and share content to extend a story’s reach.
