News from Brown

Serving as Brown’s campus-based news bureau, our team of writers and communications strategists develops and disseminates news, features and multimedia content. The News from Brown website serves as our primary platform and feeds much of the activity on Brown’s homepage and social media.

Our team of professional writers and communications managers works on a beat structure with subject matter expertise in the life sciences, physical sciences, humanities and social sciences, student life, University initiatives, and community impact. Our content serves as the basis for ongoing, outbound interactions with the external news media as we facilitate positive news coverage of the University.

Collaborating with Faculty and Staff

As we unearth compelling content from across the Brown campus — with a particular focus on stories centered on Brown’s academic excellence, new research, faculty and student accomplishments and collaborations, and new initiatives — we work collaboratively with campus partners, who play a critical role in broadening awareness of Brown’s world-class teaching, research and community impact. We rely upon collaboration with our faculty and staff colleagues to seek out distinctive stories and create effective strategies to elevate Brown’s reputation, and we welcome and encourage story ideas and news tips at any point.

We also manage Brown’s Editorial Style Guide, a resource for communicators across the Brown campus to establish consistency in editorial style for websites, print publications, social media and more.
