Wake Forest’s online newsroom gets a dynamic makeover

Today Wake Forest University introduced a new and improved online newsroom (news.wfu.edu) to deliver newsworthy content in a visually-compelling, mobile-responsive and easy-to-navigate design.

“Now news.wfu.edu is the digital extension of our team’s guiding philosophy: make telling Wake Forest stories a positive experience for news media by providing them as much content, access and support as possible,” Neal said.

It is easier than ever to access b-roll or download an image directly from a story, find the right media relations contact for a particular topic, share content on social media or subscribe to weekly coverage reports.

Key features and benefits of the enhanced online newsroom include:

• Headlines – A modular design clearly showcases the single source for University announcements, story ideas, videos, photos, expert pitches and more.

• Experts – Searchable by keyword or name, an updated expert directory, powered by ExpertFile, features faculty and staff who can offer informed perspectives and commentary on a range of timely topics.

• Popular Stories – This one-stop-shop centralizes the most important information about stories frequently of national interest, such as test-optional admissions and career development.

• Election Experts – Representing a wide range of academic areas, this collection features faculty who can share their expertise on a variety of election-related topics.

• Resources – Information about Wake Forest’s broadcast TV studio, ISDN radio access, directions to campus, logos and more can be found here.
