The Media Relations team promotes the University, its staff, and their work to the wider public through the media. We offer support to academics wishing to provide commentary in the media, as well as helping journalists find the right expert at York for their story.
We draft media releases, take pictures, film videos, record podcasts and produce statements. We also offer advice on how you should approach interviews with journalists to ensure you get your message across accurately, concisely and with impact.
