Communications and Marketing serves regional media and the publics that look to those outlets for current, accurate, and relevant information. The media have been requested not to consider as official any information regarding programs, staff, or activities at Walters State provided by anyone other than the president or his or her designee or the communications and marketing officer. Faculty and staff who are contacted directly by media representatives must inform the Office of Communications and Marketing immediately.
Faculty and administrative staff interested in news media coverage of particular events are asked to submit publicity requests at least two weeks in advance. Communications and Marketing staff will write a press release based on the information submitted and, if necessary, follow-up meetings. Press releases are disseminated to media outlets and publicized internally through various media as appropriate and as determined by Communications and Marketing. Communications and Marketing staff adhere to the guidelines of the Associated Press Stylebook when writing press releases and Public Service Announcements.
