Media Relations


 
Media Relations disseminates information to the media on all news and events pertaining to the college’s general operations, curriculum, faculty and student developments, alumni achievements, Educational Foundation, and The Museum at FIT. Media Relations conducts its activities proactively. It identifies and pitches newsworthy stories, secures media interviews that position FIT faculty and expert spokespersons. It also generates a stream of press releases/advisories chronicling the college’s numerous activities and accomplishments in support of strategic priorities. Also check out:

In addition, we monitor media coverage and report to FIT’s internal community and the Board of Trustees on significant press stories; coordinate and supervise all media filming and photographing on campus; and approve all press materials issued by external parties in conjunction with events in partnership with FIT.
