National Media Relations

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 nearly 300 percent increase in media citations over the past five years, Rice News and Media Relations has established itself as a one-stop shop for connecting faculty experts with local, state and national media outlets to comment on breaking news.

Thanks to the launch of a new VideoLink ReadyCam TV interview studio, Rice’s faculty experts are now available at a moment’s notice to conduct national media interviews — without ever leaving campus. The studio is located in Allen Center, the university’s central administration building, and is capable of transmitting broadcast-quality standard-definition and high-definition video directly to all news media organizations around the world 24/7.

Your next interview is only a phone call away. For scheduling, contact Jeff Falk, director of national media relations, at 713-348-6775 or jfalk@rice.edu.
