Product Description:

External media connections are essential to promote events and activities to a larger audience. To this end, the Center has spearheaded a new effort to supply news releases to local and regional media outlets and gain placement on community calendars. We?ve been successful in having events published on several online calendars, such as local newspaper The Bryan-College Station Eagle, the Bryan-College Station Visitors and Convention Bureau, local TV news station KBTX Channel 3 News, and local NPR radio station affiliate, KAMU 90.9 FM. News releases have gone out to local news outlets and gotten some attention, most notably through the Aggie Hotline, a newsletter that is distributed campuswide and to the local media. All announcements and news releases are also made available on the Center web site, which are updated weekly and kept in a permanent archive.
