People and contacts
The Office consists of two teams: the press office, and the internal communications team.
Press office
The team consists of Jacqui Bealing (Senior Press Officer) and Maggie Clune (Press Officer).
We can advise you on how to maximise your media exposure: how to present your story in a press release or interview, or how to react to external enquiries. See our guide to working with the media, or ask us for a print copy. Contact us at press@sussex.ac.uk to find out more.
Have you written or been quoted in an article? Have you been interviewed on radio or TV?
We monitor the University's profile in the media and maintain a record of press cuttings about Sussex to produce Sussex in the News, a round up of some of the best publicity. Please help by telling us about your latest media appearance. Email press@sussex.ac.uk.
