Office of News and Information

What We Do

Flagler College’s Office of News and Information aims to share important information about the college with the campus community and anyone curious about the school. Some of our responsibilities include:

• Producing an award-winning alumni magazine
• Advising a college newspaper that's been a finalist for the Associated Collegiate Press Online Pacemaker award
• Helping members of the media find college-related news, statistics, photographs, expert sources and more
• Providing timely and compelling news about student, faculty and staff achievements through press releases and other media
• Promoting cultural programs, lectures and other educational events offered at the college
• Managing the use of the Flagler College brand identity

How We Work

Members of the media and general public:

We are here to answer questions and direct you to the people, publications and other resources that can best serve you. Our job is to provide you with open and timely communication.

Please explore the rest of the News & Events pages to learn more about the college, and contact our staff members with any questions.

Students, faculty, staff and alumni:

We want people to get involved with Flagler College – to think, talk, write, join clubs and attend events. We try to highlight the people, places and happenings that make our campus unique. Creating a broader awareness of the college’s progress and achievements benefits every person who teaches, works or studies here.

You can help us do this in several ways.

Tell us your stories

Do you have a friend who is doing something amazing with her degree? Are you working on a groundbreaking project or taking a special trip? We are always looking for inspiring ideas that can be expressed through articles, videos, blogs and more.

Consult us

Whenever possible, speak with us before responding to questions from the media. The Office of News and Information should be aware of interviews so we can provide additional resources to reporters and stay updated on media coverage. Journalists work on tight deadlines, however, and they often need you to get back to them within hours or minutes.

Give good interviews

When you do speak with reporters, know they typically need quotes that sum up a lot of information in an interesting way. Think about what you would want to say about a topic if you were given just one sentence or 15 seconds to express it. Remember that nothing you say to a reporter is anonymous or “off the record” unless he/she agrees to those terms beforehand.

With that said, relax. Journalism aims to capture the more interesting parts of life as they happen. Elaborate, prepared statements feel forced and probably won’t make it onto the page or screen. Be real -- and call us if you have questions.
