Northwest is a public institution, and members of the news media are welcome on campus at all times for any legitimate purpose. However, we always appreciate when reporters let us know they're coming. This often allows the News Bureau to arrange for source access and interviews beforehand, thus saving reporters time and effort when working on deadline.
With the exception of residence halls, which serve as private homes for our students, the great majority of University facilities are open to the media during regular business hours. Exceptions include classrooms, where individual professors may refuse access, and support facilities or construction sites where safety issues may exist.
Reporters are free to speak with any adult member of the University community whether or not they have made arrangements through the News Bureau. However, members of our community are also free not to respond. 除了, 一些学生, such as those enrolled in the Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics and Computing or pupils attending Horace Mann Laboratory School, 是未成年人. In such cases, parental permission is required before an interview can take place. The News Bureau will be happy to help reporters secure such permission if it is needed to cover the story.
