Media Professionals
Main Page Content
Iowa Now is the official, one-stop source for University of Iowa news produced by University Communication and Marketing and partners across campus. Most of the items once labeled "press releases" or "news releases" are now presented as stories aimed at multiple audiences.
We encourage media professionals who regularly report on the university to follow Iowa Now feeds or subscribe to email alerts to get the latest UI news.
UCM will occasionally publish content aimed primarily at journalists, such as alerts about special media-only events, public statements, advisories, etc. We’ll distribute that content via Iowa Now and directly to media professionals as needed.
