Location: The location for a Media Center should be established prior to any crisis. It should be located away from offices of the ECU, spokesperson and EOC to ensure that media are not in the middle of the action. The suggested location of the Media Center is in the Atrium. Interacting with the Media: Security or designated ECU members will escort members of the media to the Media Center. These are the only individuals who should correspond with reporters, other than the President, during a press conference or interview. If anyone other than the team members listed above, is approached by a reporter, they should ask them to remain where they are and let a NLU ECU member know that media is present. Never talk about the crisis situation, even casually, with any member of the media. As noted earlier, the President is the primary spokesperson in the event of a crisis and should be the only person talking with reporters.
