Ask WSU News for Help


The WSU News office keeps in touch with as many potential news sources – faculty, students and administrators – as possible, but we are a small department. We appreciate tips from the university community when newsworthy events are happening. If you think something you are doing professionally or personally is newsworthy, call us to discuss it. This could include attending an important conference, developing a new teaching method, presenting a paper on a newsworthy issue, discovering a research breakthrough, hosting a meeting where action on a timely topic may be taken, or sponsoring an event at the university that merits news coverage. To determine news value, consider whether you've seen similar stories on the topic in the past. Is your idea likely to be among the most important or interesting things happening that day? Is there a reporter who covers this topic regularly? Does your idea have broad appeal, or is it more suited to a smaller, more focused audience? WSU News can help you make these determinations. Give us a call at 335-3581.
