In-house writers research and write news and feature stories, media releases and education briefs to publicize Samford activities ranging from international conferences to individual academic research and student achievements. (The sports information office fulfills this service for athletics.)
The staff also assists media outlets with inquiries involving the university. Employees who are contacted directly by news media should use personal and professional discretion in responding to media inquiries. Please notify the communication office of any inquiries.
The news and information office oversees the university's official publications: Seasons, a quarterly print magazine; The Belltower, an electronic newsletter; and Inside Samford, a monthly employee newsletter.
