News and Media Relations
The News & Media Relations team serves as the liaison between campus partners and a wide range of broadcast, print and digital media outlets at the local, state, and national level.
We are storytellers.
Our team of editors and communications specialists bring more than 80 years of news and media experience to the University of Mississippi. As trained journalists, the story is at the forefront of what we do. We invite you to collaborate with us and share story ideas.
