Guidelines
The following will regulate the display of announcements on the information screen:
- Information must be submitted online by noon Thursday for posting the following Monday. New announcements will be added once a week. Organizations should plan ahead to ensure that their announcements are submitted accurately and on time.
- All announcement information must be submitted online using the Web form. E-mail submission of events is not available.
- Use of the information screen is limited to School-affiliated divisions, faculty groups and organizations, including MU-recognized journalism student organizations, for the communication of information about events or announcements of general interest to students, faculty and staff of the Missouri School of Journalism.
- All announcements posted on the information screen must meet the guidelines and standards of conduct as outlined in the MU Acceptable Use Policy.
- All announcements are subject to approval by the School of Journalism. The School of Journalism reserves the right to refuse or edit any submission.
- The individual submitting the event information is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all details (correct spelling of guest speakers' names, time, date and place of events, etc.) in the announcement. Planning and Communications staff will copy announcement information submitted on the Web form and edit only for basic grammar, spelling and style (correct spelling of days, building names, etc.).
- Event text and its supporting visual must be submitted at the same time; only one visual will be used for each event or activity.
- No sound will be played with the slides so as not to interfere with classes held in nearby rooms.
- Microsoft PowerPoint is used to create slides; be realistic about the amount of information that will fit on one screen and be readable in a few seconds.
The Office of Planning and Communications provides the Journalism information screen outside Fisher Auditorium as a free service to members of the Missouri Journalism community. School-affiliated divisions, faculty groups and organizations, including MU-recognized journalism student organizations, may submit items, such as announcements about events or promotional activities of general interest to the students, faculty and staff of the Missouri School of Journalism, for display on the information screen. Groups organizing and publicizing events should note that the information screen reaches only a general audience, primarily comprising undergraduate journalism students. Posting an item on the information screen is not a substitute for other communications aimed at a specifically targeted audience.
