More background:

If you are in a location with multiple campus teams, news coverage of one team’s ministry may affect the other teams in the area and their relations with students, university administrations, donors and the larger Christian community.

News coverage of the Campus Ministry can affect other CCC ministries in your area like Student Venture, Priority Associates, etc.

It’s always a good idea to inform other CCC teams and ministries of events or campaigns that you will be promoting strongly in the news media.

In the same way, national media coverage may affect the entire Campus Ministry and all the ministries of Campus Crusade for Christ International.

A key ingredient of Media Relations is relationships and the networking of people and story ideas. One article or story in the media can lead to other coverage. We’ve been able to change the direction of a story by getting involved early in the process. The result becomes much more favorable to Campus Crusade.
