MEDIA POLICY

KTC researchers must strictly adhere to the following process when they receive a media request:

• Upon receiving a media request, inform your direct supervisor. You need to do this even if you have no interest in responding, as the media outlets can be relentless in attempting to get a statement from someone on a given topic.
• Your direct supervisor informs the relevant Program Manager, who in turn sends the request to the appropriate Associate Director. The Associate Director shares it with KTC’s Director.
• The Office of the Director will make an initial assessment to determine if KTC should reach out to KYTC to make a media request.
• The Director will reach out to the appropriate contact at KYTC to determine if the media request can be fulfilled.
• KYTC will provide a written response informing KTC if a media request is approved.
