NDSU news submission guidelines

The following criteria serve as guidelines when considering news articles for submission. There may be situations when exceptions are made. In situations where the NDSU news website is unable to publish an article, for whatever reason, other outlets on campus such as The Spectrum, KNDS Radio and department websites should be sought to announce news.

Stories likely to be published include, but are not limited to:
• Messages from President David Cook
• Faculty awards
• Faculty presentations and publications
• Faculty grants
• Faculty award nominations
• Student academic achievements 
• Major campus events
• NDSU department/staff awards and rankings   

Stories not likely to be published include, but are not limited to:
• Internal-targeted announcements such as various training seminars
• Non-NDSU-sponsored community events, even if the event is held on campus
• Non-academic student achievement (athletics, livestock, judging awards, etc.)
• Student organization news or announcements
• Classified advertisements or classified-type announcements

Photographs
Whenever possible, we prefer to include a photo with news articles. Photos of faculty and staff (head and shoulder) are taken in Publications Services, Prairie Hall, room 20, on the first Wednesday of each month from 9-11:30 a.m. No appointment is necessary. If you are unavailable during that time, contact Justin Eiler at justin.eiler@ndsu.edu or 1-6550 to schedule an appointment.
