About this site | Photographs | Inside Illinois

Part of the campus Office of Public Affairs, the News Bureau generates and coordinates news coverage of the Urbana-Champaign campus. The News Bureau evaluates newsworthy information from faculty and staff members for dissemination to the news media and also provides advice to faculty and staff members and students regarding media contacts.

News Bureau writers each have an assigned area of coverage, such as arts, business, humanities and life sciences. Each unit on campus is on the beat of a writer who stays abreast of newsworthy developments and identifies UI expert sources with the help of faculty and staff members.

The News Bureau staff comprises people who, by having worked for newspapers and magazines, understand all aspects of media relations and can provide knowledgeable advice based on many years of experience. This enables the News Bureau staff to judge what news organizations are likely to use.

The News Bureau disseminates news and research stories to the news media. The News Bureau also publishes Inside Illinois on the first and third Thursdays for the UI campus staff, and postmarks each semester for the parents of undergraduates.
