EDNET NEWS RELEASES:
University Marketing and Public Relations sends out a series of news
releases called "EdNets" each month, aimed at parents and educators
of students K-12. They can deal with just about any topic that would
appeal to that audience. Previous subjects have included obesity in
children, teaching children how to forgive, and helping parents make
sense of the financial aid process. The releases are distributed to
all newspapers in the state, as well to selected television and radio
outlets, and national publications like Working Mother and Sesame
Street. Of course, there is no guarantee the releases will be used,
but UMPR has seen high usage of the pieces, particularly by Iowa newspapers.
If you (or someone you know at the university) can talk knowledgeably
about a subject that would work as an EdNet feature, please contact
Gwenne Culpepper at 3-2761, or gwenne.culpepper@uni.edu.
