Press Releases

Press releases help disseminate information about FAU events, research results, major faculty accomplishments, experts on a timely news topic, executive-level appointments, and other topics that may be of interest to the media.

Always include the current FAU boilerplate and name, 电子邮件 address, and phone number of the media contact. Photo attachments should be indicated at the top of the release, and captions should be included between the end of the release and the boilerplate.

Please indicate your target distribution date. 媒体 Relations has access to media databases if you need help creating targeted media lists for your releases.
