Rice University National Media Relations

Whether they’re being quoted in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal or interviewed live on CNN, Fox News or NPR, Rice University faculty members are a constant presence in the national media for their groundbreaking research and expert commentary on issues of the day.

With a notable increase in media citations in recent years, the Rice News and Media Relations team has become a trusted resource for connecting faculty experts with local, state and national media outlets for timely insights on a variety of important news topics.

Our broadcast interview studio provides faculty members with the tools to conduct high-quality national media interviews 24/7. Located in Allen Center, the university’s central administration building, the studio is equipped with professional cameras, lighting, microphones and a branded backdrop. With the capability to transmit broadcast-quality high-definition video through leading online conferencing platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex, connecting with our experts has never been easier.
