Media Relations communicates news about PLNU events, people, and programs to print, online, and broadcast media outlets and responds to journalists' requests for information or expert commentary. Our goal is to provide thoughtful and timely assistance to journalists and PLNU faculty, staff, and students.
If you are in need of expert commentary, PLNU has many faculty members that can speak on hot topics and relevant issues.
Here are a few examples:
- electoral policy
- politics of race, class, and gender
- economy, recession, stock market, unemployment, financial markets
- higher education
- media
- religion
*Media Relations is not in charge of advertising buys.
