About Us
What We Do
News Services at NC State University works to promote local, national and worldwide visibility for the university, its faculty and staff. The office is committed to informing the public and the university community about the quality and diversity of the learning environment at NC State, the level of scholarship and research, and the university's dedication to finding practical, problem-solving uses of new knowledge and scholarship that will benefit society.
To accomplish these goals, News Services staff members develop and market news articles and story ideas on faculty teaching, research and expertise to print and electronic media. We do this through a variety of products including the standard news release, news tips, telephone, email and personal "pitches" to journalists, and electronic distribution of news stories via the Web and listserves.
Who We Are
The NC State News Services office is staffed by one director, one assistant director and six information specialists, all of whom have experience as public information officers. News Services also employs one office manager responsible for the office's daily operations.
