The communications office writes all university news releases, posts them in the Florida Tech Newsroom and distributes them to appropriate media outlets.
Keep in mind that the media, whether local, regional or national, is highly selective when it comes to coverage. Modern media companies are not looking for news to share; they're deciding which news to share. A news release sent to local, regional or national media may not be the most appropriate approach to your content. In some instances, your news is of greatest interest to the campus community and will be publicized in the Florida Tech NOW university newsletter, the research blog or another university outlet.
