About Us
About Us
The Press Office is a team of media professionals with responsibility for media relations and key aspects of internal and corporate communications.
Our Services
We work with teams to identify media potential in our research, student stories or University life, write media releases, deal with media inquiries, monitor the media and organise media training for staff. We advise University colleagues on good practice and seek to maintain good relations and contacts with journalists.
Our internal and corporate communications role includes the production of NU Connections, the fortnightly online magazine for staff and other external readers; NU Headlines, the media bulletin, and the University's Profile and Annual Review.
We also contribute editorial material on a regular basis to various internal and external media, such as Arches, the University's alumni magazine, and to stakeholder publications.
