About MCMA News

Most news is produced by SIU public relations/media professionals with the intent on distribution to print and broadcast media in Southern Illinois. This news is available on the Saluki Times at news.siu.edu, however, it is University-based news so we highlight the news that is relevant to our college. Pete Rosenbery (University Communications) covers the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts. Because this news is produced by SIU in news release form it often appears in other publications. When unique stories about our college appears in other print and broadcast media, we also highlight it through our news feed.

Smaller news updates and awards, faculty publications and appearances that have not been published into a full news article, can be emailed to the MCMA webmaster, Donnie Laur.

We are using RSS feeds from SIU and MCMA student produced news such as news from the Daily Egyptian, from Saluki Times, and from the WSIU newsroom.
