Media Guidlines

The Marketing Office is your conduit to the access you need to make your stories, TV programs, radio spots or photographs as authoritative and interesting as possible. We urge you to contact us as a first point of reference beyond the listed contacts on media release stories. The more lead-time we have, the better the access we can provide. But when deadlines are tight, we make every effort to get you the information and experts you need.
