Information for the Media
The Office of Athletic Communications at Wichita State University is ready to assist the working media in any way possible. We will gladly fulfill all reasonable requests.

When requesting credentials, we urge you to do so at least three days in advance. In making interview requests, we ask for at least 24 hours notice. Advance notice on both items will help ensure that your request will be handled efficiently.

Interviews
Out-of-town media wishing to interview Wichita State student-athletes should also contact the communications office with their requests. Home and cell phone numbers for players will not be provided and players have been instructed not to accept calls from media without prior notice from the communications office. Please do not contact a player or coach without scheduling the interview through the communications office.

Email
Releases, game notes, advisories, etc., are e-mailed to media that cover Wichita State on a regular basis. Media wishing to be added to the e-mail list for a particular sport should contact the communications representative responsible for that sport.

Typical Home Game Media Services
Typical home game media services include pre-game notes packets, halftime and final statistics, a running play-by-play and game programs (upon request). Statistical monitors are provided to TV and radio broadcasts based on availability. The media is encouraged to follow live statistics online through Statbroadcast.
