Media Guidelines Reminder

In the recent CE Managers' Meeting, Communications shared Media Guidelines and Communications Reminders...

Houston Public Library Policies and Guidelines related to Media Houston Public Library (HPL) policy states that the Public Relations Office (PRO) “must be the exclusive channel for communicating with any citywide print media and all electronic media (who should request access and cooperation in advance, except when covering breaking news).” What this means is that Media Relations inquiries are handled through the PRO. If a member of the media contacts you for a story about the Library or in which the Library will be featured, please refer the media representative to the Public Relations Office and/or check with us - even if he/she claims that PRO has already been contacted and OK’d. We do our best to give you a warning if we think that media is heading your way. This is especially important if a reporter/photographer/camera crew show up in person. This includes HTV (formerly the Municipal Channel) and City Savvy.
