News and Information Services
The University of Texas at Tyler Office of News and Information is the official source for coordination of UT Tyler public information programs. This includes promotion of upcoming events as well as reports of recent achievements by students, faculty and staff.
News releases, advertising, public service announcements, brochures, newsletters, media notifications and the university Web site are developed through the Office News and Information.
Please contact the appropriate News and Information staff member with your request.
The Office of News and Information does not charge for its services. Charges would apply only to outside services. For instance, there is no cost incurred for News and Information to design a brochure, but there is a cost for the printing of the brochure.
Publicity is available through the following:
News Releases
The UT Tyler Office of News and Information produces a wide range of news releases that promote the university within the East Texas region and beyond. It is our responsibility, when publicity is appropriate, to develop that information into a news release consistent with newswriting style and university procedure.
The sooner we receive information, the wider distribution we can obtain; for instance, one (1) week may be sufficient to submit a release for an upcoming event to the Tyler Morning Telegraph, but two (2) weeks allows us to meet the deadlines of weekly newspapers in the region.
Early notification also helps us determine the proper coverage of the information on the university Web site.
Releases are an excellent way of obtaining publicity at no cost; please keep in mind, however, that control is with the newspaper editor, not the university. The editor decides when, if at all, to publish the release.

Newspaper Advertising
Paid advertising ensures that notice of an upcoming event will appear in the newspaper on a specific date. In order to meet newspaper deadlines, written information must be received by the Office of News and Information at least seven (7) working days prior to the date the ad needs to appear in the newspaper.
Ads are prepared using a specially designed format, available in various sizes, with the university's logo. This provides an easily recognized image that is distinctively UT Tyler.
Placement of paid advertising requires basic content of ad, timeframe for ad to run, list of desired newspapers in which ad is to appear and estimated budget for advertising. The estimated budget will help us determine the ad size.
You will receive a draft copy of the ad along with a project proof slip for final approval. No ads will run without the approval of the requestor.

Brochures and Printed Materials
The Office of News and Information coordinates the design and production of all brochures, posters and various other publications and printed materials used for recruitment by the university.
Design services are available through the Office of News and Information; however, the university community is not restricted to its services. Outside designers may be used; however, ALL materials should be reviewed by the Office of News and Information during the production process and prior to being printed. This is to maintain compliance with the graphic and editorial guidelines.
The Office of News and Information strives to ensure that all materials that reach the public maintain a quality image; therefore, printed materials that do not comply with university standards should not be used.

UT Tyler Magazine
The UT Tyler Magazine is published in fall and spring semesters and features some of the university’s outstanding students, faculty, alumni and donors, as well as a special section promoting major endeavors/accomplishments of the university.
Each issue of the magazine is planned at least seven (7) months prior to the publication date.
The department welcomes all suggestions for magazine topics. Not all suggestions will fit the format of the magazine, so they may be used in other avenues of promotion (Web site, press release).

University Web Site
The UT Tyler Web site is developed and managed by the Web Content Coordinator. Her responsibilities include designing and maintaining, image continuity and ease of navigation.
The Web Content Coordinator communicates regularly with the designers for college and departmental homepages in order to maintain images and information that conform to the university's main site.
ALL homepages should be submitted to the Office News and Information for review during development and prior to being published. For information regarding UT Tyler Web design standards, visit www.uttyler.edu/styleguide.
