Publications

With a diverse student body, innovative faculty, and exciting work being done in fields ranging from aerospace to new media, Middle Georgia State has an interesting story to tell, and we’re here to tell it.

The Office of Communications provides press relations services; coordinates releases to local, state and regional media; maintains the University’s social media accounts; oversees the top-level pages of the MGA website; and provides communications services in the event of campus emergencies.

In addition to releasing information via local and social media, the Office of Communications manages multiple publications:

Publications overview InsideMGA A continuously-updated site with information of interest to the students and employees of Middle Georgia State MGA Today An annual magazine highlighting the students, employees, and academic offerings of MGA Pressroom A collection of news stories, published on the MGA website President’s Annual Report An annual synopsis of the University’s activity in the past year

Before sending your story to MarComm

Before sending your story into the Office of Communications, take a minute to consider the following questions:

• Who in the Middle Georgia community needs or wants to know about this?
• What’s the importance of this story to the University and to the community as a whole?
• What makes this story unique?
• Is all of the information needed for this story ready to go? (Remember your five W’s – who, what, where, when, and why)
  
  

Due to limited resources, we are only able to issue releases about stories that have a broad appeal to the community, have significant impact on the University or the community, or are unique in some way.

Submission requirements

We need all the details when we start putting together a release. If you’re still in the planning phases of your project or program, wait until things are a little more concrete before you bring us on board. Only accessible content will be accepted.

If Your Story Isn’t a Good Fit For a Wide Release, We Can Still Help You Get The Word Out

• If the information in your story is of importance to the campus community, send it to insidemga@mga.edu at mga dot edu for inclusion in InsideMGA.
• If you have departmental, divisional, or office social media account(s), post your news to social media and make sure to tag the institutional accounts (see below) – we’ll pick up your post and share with our social media followers.
• Consider releasing your story to journals, magazines, and websites that focus on your specific discipline. Write up a draft (take a look at any of the stories in the Pressroom if you need an example of press release style) and we can take a look at your release before you send it out if you’d like.
  
  

Please note that not all stories will warrant wide release, and we may contact you with ideas for releasing your story through alternate channels.
