PRESS FOR STUDENTS EVENTS

If you are organising an event, and would like to have media attendance, make sure you keep the following in mind:

• Media attendance is only appropriate for events which are newsworthy.
• Get the approval of STAD before inviting the media.
• Prepare a Media Invitation and send to CCU for approval three weeks before the event.
• Prepare a Press Release and send to CCU for approval one week before the event.
• Fax out Media Invitations to members of the media two weeks before the event.
• Follow up three days before, and then a day before the event.
• Have a Media Liaison person to attend to the Media at your event.
