New guidelines being implemented for Auburn News

Based on the results of a recent campus survey that called for greater strategic internal messaging for Auburn employees, a more streamlined process for content submissions to the weekly Auburn News is launching today.

The Office of Communications and Marketing encourages anyone wanting to submit announcements for Auburn News inclusion to first start with their college or unit lead communicator or designee for that content to be posted on their college or unit communications platforms. Based on Auburn News guidelines, the lead communicator can then submit requests for announcement inclusion in Auburn News, where appropriate and at the ultimate purview of OCM. 

Meanwhile, for event submissions, college and unit communicators will work with you to post your event to Auburn’s public calendar. As has been the case, if an event falls under the Campus Events Policy, it must first be approved through Auburn’s Campus Events Planning System (CEPS).

The Auburn News distribution is designed to provide timely, short-form content that helps inform, educate and celebrate Auburn faculty and staff and instill pride in our shared Auburn experiences. This new streamlined approach of campus submitting content requests through their area’s designated communicator is designed to better synchronize content to that aim and more fully maximize key messaging not only through Auburn News, but also on Auburn’s calendar of events page and the university’s various other communications platforms.
