Submitting content does not guarantee publication, but all submissions\u00a0will be thoughtfully reviewed and considered for use on the site. Content may be edited for length or style. Content from sources outside the MSU community is rarely accepted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content Submission Guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meeting the following guidelines will increase the likelihood that your submission will be used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Audience.<\/strong>\u00a0Please remember our\u00a0target audience is the MSU workforce, not the general public (though the public can access the site\u00a0as well).\u00a0We are most\u00a0interested in\u00a0information needed by or of interest to a significant percentage of the MSU workforce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Length.<\/strong>\u00a0We are looking for small pieces of content that are easy to read or scan quickly. The length of your submission ideally should not exceed 500 words, but you can include links to more detailed information already available on a reputable website (preferably an MSU-related website). Video submissions should ideally be less than 2 or 3 minutes in length.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duplication.<\/strong>\u00a0We seek\u00a0content that does not duplicate\u00a0information we have already published or compete with information already widely available through more appropriate news or public relations venues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fit.<\/strong>\u00a0Familiarize yourself with the site before submitting information.\u00a0Content that matches the site\u2019s style and\u00a0fits well into one of the site\u2019s\u00a0existing content categories is more likely\u00a0to be used than content that is not a good fit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time.\u00a0<\/strong>Submit your content as far in advance of the desired publication date as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visuals.<\/strong>\u00a0Feel free to supplement your story with a photo or a video.

If you have an accompanying graphic that you have rights to use, please attach that as well.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to submit a video, we prefer first receiving a link to your already published video rather than a video file via email.
