LSU AgCenter Communications produces news releases for print, radio and television media.
Print press releases are produced three ways – as headline news for stories with more immediacy, as news you can use for stories with a helpful angle, and as seasonal stories. We produce four seasonal packets: spring gardening, hurricane preparedness (storm and flood), back-to-school and holidays.
All of the print press releases are archived together as News by year and then by month.
All of the radio and television news releases are archived together as Radio & TV by year and then by month.
In addition, we produce a special service called “Get It Growing” aimed at people who want to improve their landscapes, grow flowers and ornamentals or grow vegetables and fruit. This service includes a weekly newspaper column written by horticulturist Dan Gill, a daily (Monday through Friday) 60-second radio spot voiced by Gill, and a weekly 90-second television spot featuring Gill.
All of the “Get It Growing” releases – print, radio and television – are archived together as Get It Growing by year and then by month.
For more information on our news services, please contact Frankie Gould or Linda Benedict. Both can be reached at (225) 578-2263 or via e-mail.
