Media Relations

The Indiana University Southeast office of Sports Information provides complete information and media services regarding the institution's seven intercollegiate sports.

The office is responsible for all public and media relations pertaining to athletics, athletic department publications, the athletic department's website, statistical and historical record keeping for all sports and other promotional activities surrounding the athletic department.

A complete description of the services provided by the IU Southeast office of Sports Information follows:

Interviews- All interviews with IU Southeast coaches, student athletes and staff members must be arranged through the office of Sports Information. After games, matches and other athletic events, locker rooms are generally off limits to members of the media. Player and coach interviews, however, may be conducted outside locker room entrances or on the playing surface after a minimal, 10-minute cooling off period for participants.

Game Day Coverage and Press Passes- Any media member covering a game, match or other contest hosted by IU Southeast is asked to reserve a press credential at least 24 hours prior to the event. While last minute media are welcome, prior knowledge of your arrival is much appreciated. For most sports, the office of Sports Information will provide statistical information and/or box scores as soon after each home match as possible.

Game Programs, Game Notes and Media Information - Pre-game information may be obtained from the office of Sports Information when available. If notes, programs, etc., are not available, the office of Sports Information will assist members of the working media in any way possible to ensure accurate reporting.

Radio- Any visiting radio broadcasts must reserve their seating and phone lines at least two weeks in advance of the event to be coverd. While late-comers are welcome, phone lines and seating can not be guaranteed. For basketball, and volleyball, one analog phone line will be reserved for visiting radio, whether previous arrangements have been made or not.

 

IU Southeast Athletic Marks and Logo Usage - The IU Marketing and Communication policy VPE-01 states: Individual unit logos for any entity of the university—including centers and institutes—are generally not permitted. Separate and unfamiliar logos do not serve the interests of the unit or the university, add to the complexity of communications, and can confuse audiences. Individual units must use the IU logo to represent their unit—through Marketing Lockups and Official Signatures—to leverage the collective strength of a unified brand. All IU and IU Southeast marks and logo use must be approved in advance by the Office of Communications and Marketing.
