Media Relations

All media relations efforts begin with a strong message that supports the NPC brand, mission and vision. National Park College maintains ongoing relationships with a vast network of media professionals and monitors media coverage daily for information and issues relevant to NPC and our stakeholders.

The Marketing and Public Relations team shares stories of NPC students, faculty and staff through a variety of mediums to increase exposure, promote the College’s positive image, and assist in clarifying information related to NPC. We use traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio, as well as social media and digital platforms.

NPC conducts all media relations efforts with the public interest in mind and with accountability to both internal and external stakeholders. We strive for accuracy, authenticity, clarity, timeliness, and collaboration within our campus communications.

Reporters and Journalists

The Office of Marketing Public Relations can identify the best source for a story on a case-by-case basis to ensure reporters are able to produce the most accurate account.
