Media Contact Guidelines
All initiated news stories must be communicated through the Cerro Coso Public Information Officer. It is inappropriate to contact the media directly to initiate any story about your program, team, students, player or self. The appropriate process for initiating a media request is outlined below:
- Contact Tera if you have any questions at tera.moorehead@cerrocoso.edu.
- If the event or story is particularly time sensitive, factor this into the timeline for submitting your request. While there are no guarantees about response from the various media outlets, please make note in the request if there is a particular timeline or sense urgency for your request and the Public Information Officer will make every effort to assist you.
- Submit a Marketing/Publicity Request to Tera Moorehead.
- Tera will follow up according to the contact information provided on the form. If you have any questions, please contact her at tera.moorehead@cerrocoso.edu.
The Public Information Office needs at least three, preferably four weeks notice. Most publicity is time-sensitive. Some of our service area newspapers publish only once weekly. Daily newspapers may only publish College information on a limited basis, given available space in the paper. Currently, the Public Information Office distributes news information to 17 service area newspapers, 10 radio stations, and 3 Cable Channels.
