Media Services and Policies

• Interviews with student-athletes, coaches and/or administrators will be arranged through the SID. Student-athletes will not miss class time to be available for interviews, nor will interviews be conducted no later than 60 minutes prior to practice, or on the day of the game, unless ECAC or NCAA competition warrants it. Coaches will be available for interviews no later than 60 minutes prior to the start of practice, and no interviews will be conducted on the day of the game, unless ECAC or NCAA competition warrants it. Post-game interviews with student-athletes and/or coaches will not be conducted until at least a 10-minute post-game cooling off period has expired and coaches have released the student-athletes. At that time, coaches and student-athletes will be made available for interviews. If you have a specific student-athlete you would like to interview, please let the SID know well before the end of the contest.
• Interviews will be conducted through the Sports Information Office only. Due to FERPA and Salve Regina policies, home phone numbers, cell phone numbers, and e-mail addresses for student-athletes, coaches and/or administrators will not be given out. Should a student-athlete not be available at a designated time, he or she will call you back from the Sports Information Office.

Game Day Coverage and Press Passes

Any media member covering a game, match or other contest hosted by Salve Regina University is asked to reserve a press credential at least 24 hours prior to the event. While last minute media are welcome, prior knowledge of your arrival is much appreciated. For most sports, the Sports Information Office will provide statistical information and/or box scores after each home event as soon as possible.

Press Conferences

In the event of a press conference, the primary media covering Salve Regina University Athletics will be notified as far in advance as possible. To be added to the primary media list, contact the Sports Information Office.

Game Programs, Game Notes and Media Information

Pre-game information may be obtained from the Sports Information Office when available. If notes, programs, etc., are not available, the Sports Information Office will assist members of the working media in any way possible to ensure accurate reporting.

Technology

At most Salve Regina University athletic events, a general phone and fax line and photocopier will be made available to members of the working media. When those amenities are unavailable on site, the Sports Information Director's office or another office will be made available before, during and after events.

Radio

Any visiting radio broadcasts must reserve their seating and phone lines at least two weeks in advance of the covered event. While late-comers are welcome, phone lines and seating cannot be guaranteed.

Photographers

Photographers are asked to stay between the 30-yard line and the end zone for football and in the respective end zones for basketball. For all other sports, standard shooting spots may be utilized. Similar policies apply for credentials and seating reservations.
