The Bureau always appreciates feedback following the contact. The bureau also creates and maintains clip and broadcast tape files. The tape and clip files are periodically delivered to the archives. A regional distribution list includes 41 daily and weekly newspapers and 22 radio and television stations in the 4-state area. Major news releases also are sent to key state daily papers and wire services.
Wider release is designed as appropriate.
The News Bureau is user friendly. Major announcements that require planning for best results should be discussed with the news staff well in advance. Material need not be written in news form, just information on who, what, where, when, why. These include stories on concerts, theatre productions, art exhibits, films, lectures, etc. Schedule photo sessions with the Joplin Globe and others through the News Bureau.
