UB Media Kit

What we do

Our experienced and award-winning staff focuses on promoting and increasing the visibility of UB as one of the nation’s premier research-intensive public universities, the largest and most comprehensive campus in the State University of New York. We work with reporters from various media outlets—print, broadcast and Web—who distribute news locally, regionally, statewide, nationally and internationally.

We work closely with reporters and editors of news outlets throughout the nation and the world, earning the Office of News Services a reputation for being extremely cooperative and easy to work with.

Articles about UB and its people, programs and research appear regularly in national news outlets such as The New York Times, BBC, NPR, CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, Science, Business Week, The Chronicle of Higher Education and Time magazine, as well as with our region’s top media outlets, including The Buffalo News, Business First and the local radio and TV news stations. We also target specialty trade magazines and Internet news sites.

News releases are distributed to the media via email and fax, and are posted on our Web site. Selected news releases also are posted to national news servers such as EurekAlert and Newswise.

We also provide a searchable database of experts who are available to share their expertise with the news media on a variety of topics.

News Services in consultation with the Office of the Vice President of External Affairs, coordinates all university news conferences and media briefings.
