Wheaton College Media List (Word)
- Operative: The Wheaton College sports
information staff provides coverage and media services for all 21
of the institution's varsity athletics programs. In addition to
being responsible for all media relations pertaining to
student-athletes, coaches and staff, we operate the athletics
website, compile statistics at home sporting events and disseminate
press releases regarding individual events, student-athletes and
teams. We are also responsible for all departmental promotional
materials, historical program records and photography. The sports
information department is located in Haas Athletic Center in Room
112, adjacent to the equipment room.
- Media Relations: Interviews with
student-athletes, coaches and administrators may only be arranged
through the sports information staff. Post-game interviews with
student-athletes or coaches will be conducted either following a
10-minute post-game cooling off period or after a coach has
released the team. If you have a specific student-athlete you would
like to interview, please let the sports information staff know
well before the end of the contest.
- Game Day Coverage and Press Passes: Any media
member covering a game, match or other contest hosted by Wheaton is
asked to reserve a press credential at least 24 hours prior to the
event. While last-minute media is welcome, prior knowledge of your
arrival is much appreciated.
- Game Programs, Game Notes and Media
Information: Pre-game information may be obtained from the
sports information staff when available. If notes, programs, etc.,
are not available, the sports information staff will assist members
of the working media in any way possible to ensure accurate
reporting.
- Technology: At some Wheaton athletics events,
Internet access, a general phone line, fax machine and photocopier
will be made available to members of the working media. When those
amenities are unavailable on site, the sports information office or
another office will be made available before, during and after
events.
- Radio: Any visiting radio broadcasts must
reserve their seating and phone lines at least two weeks in advance
of the covered event. While late-comers are welcome, phone lines
and seating cannot be guaranteed.
- Photographers: Photographers are asked to stay
in the respective end zones for basketball. For all other sports,
standard shooting spots may be utilized. Similar policies apply for
credentials and seating reservations.
