Integrated Marketing and Communications is eager to hear your story ideas. We will pitch stories that are most likely to generate media interest. Some examples of stories that are likely to succeed include:
  • Stories with national scope or impact. These stories illustrate a national trend in higher education; highlight a unique aspect of the WSSU faculty, students or staff; or have potential to interest or impact a general audience.
  • Stories that are unique/human interest. These stories exemplify the unique or human face of WSSU faculty, students or staff.
  • Compelling stories with news/feature undertones. These stories most often appeal to a general audience and involve the activities of a person. They often have a direct correlation to an issue in the news or a national/local trend. Story ideas can be compelling, whimsical or present an issue that is on the brink of innovation.
