UST Story Submission

Before submitting a story for publication on Utah State Today:

• Double check to confirm your copy complies with USU’s official Editorial Style Guide.
• Check with faculty/students to confirm they are available for interviews in the days of/following publication on UST. 
  • If they are unavailable and/or out of town, preference is to hold the story until they are available. 
• Be sure to include an appropriate photo. 
  • Should be 1600x900 but if you cannot resize, we can handle that as long as the photo is good quality and can be cropped to a strong horizontal image. 
  • 3-5 photos is best practice for media coverage. 
  • If you know you’ll be in need of photos for a story ahead of time, UMAC/Levi Sim may be able to accommodate but this needs to be scheduled in advance. 
  • Include caption information for every photo (except non-USU stock images), including who, what, when, and where details. Photographer credits use the following format at the end of a caption: (Photo credit: USU/Levi Sim). 
• Make sure supervisor and story subject(s) have approved all story copy. 
• If the story has potential for broad news coverage, consider scheduling faculty/student interviews with UMAC to accompany the story on UST.
• Additional information for submitting a story or press release can be found on the Utah State Today resources page.
