Graduation
Hometown Press Releases
- TWU's
Marketing and Communication department will send one
press release to newspapers in Texas and other
hometowns of TWU graduates that are out of state.
- The
press release will list information about TWU’s Fall
09 commencement and list all TWU graduates (except for those
who have marked their records private through the registrar’s
office) in a table format.
- In
addition, TWU graduates may send a personalized press release
to the newspaper(s) of their choice using the Fall
09 Graduation Press Release Template, available Feb. 1,
2010.
Students
can download the press release template from the TWU website
and insert the appropriate information they would like to
send to the newspaper(s) of their choice. The students can
then send the release to the newspapers themselves for possible
publication.
Most
newspapers have their own websites. Visit a search engine
like Google
or Yahoo and
type in the newspaper’s information. From the newspaper’s
website you can obtain the appropriate contact information.
Some newspapers have online forms where you can submit the
information. You also can use the phone book or information
to find the newspaper’s phone number or physical address.
TWU’s
Marketing and Communication department recommends that graduates
send their personalized press release to their chosen newspapers
by Feb. 8, 2010 to ensure timely publication.
- DISCLAIMER:
Sending a press release announcing your graduation to your
local newspaper(s) does not guarantee publication. Newspapers
are under no obligation to publish anything sent to them,
either by an individual or the university. Graduates, family
and friends should monitor their local newspaper for publication
of your announcement.
- Please
note that sending a graduation announcement press release
to your local newspaper is free. Some newspapers also may
sell space for printing graduation announcements. It is
up to the graduate to decide whether to pay for this announcement.
