What to do if you have received a request from a journalist or media outlet
Don’t know if a media request is genuine or worthwhile? Want to share a media opportunity with the rest of NCAS? Undecided on being a spokesperson? Unsure on how to provide a quote? Need help with arranging an interview?
The NCAS Communications Team offers staff a range of services and support related to media relations, alongside the Press Office at your host institution. We can help with building relationships with journalists and media outlets, by writing and distributing press releases, tracking news coverage and hot topics, creating written content, and offering advice ahead of interviews or media briefings.
