Publicising Your Work

If you have news to publicise to the media then the first step is to get in touch with the Press Office. Send a synopsis of your story of around 200 words to pressoffice@le.ac.uk and we will take it from there.

News need not be limited to research outcomes; we are also interested in staff and student distinctions, teaching successes, opinion pieces, and the unusual or quirky.

Stories which reflect well on the University but are too minor, esoteric or specialist to interest the media can be promoted through the University Newsblog. The Marketing Communications Office also provides a number of channels to communicate your news and announcements internally and externally.

We have put togther a guide of the process of publicising research to the media with some tips on how to maximise your coverage:
