Internal communications channels

Looking to communicate directly to faculty and staff at Memorial?

Memorial has a number of channels you can use to share your and your unit's news and updates internally.

Consider your communication goals and target audiences as you browse through the options below.

The Gazette
Memorial's newspaper

The Gazette is the university's public-facing media outlet where we share news on the latest accomplishments of our faculty, students and staff. The Gazette also runs time-sensitive, campus-wide updates to the university community on behalf of the president, Board of Regents and vice-presidents. To pitch a story to the Gazette, email News Editor Mandy Cook, at mandyc@mun.ca.


Event listings
& newsletter

The Gazette also has a robust event listings calendar, where you can add your own events. Faculty, students and staff will see your events listed here, and faculty and staff will also receive notice of your event in a weekly events calendar round-up email sent every Thursday (St. John's campus only). Local media also regualrly scan the Gazette's event listings when looking for content to cover in their outlets. 


Newsline
Memorial's email newsletter

Newsline is Memorial's primary internal communications tool for employees.

It is used to communicate Memorial-led initiatives and information, significant maintenance announcements (i.e. network outages), closure information and other general updates that may impact faculty and staff.

Units can submit their Newsline items to Mandy Cook at mandyc@mun.ca. The deadline to do so is 5 p.m. Monday or Thursday.

Note: Newsline typically does not share event details; events should isntead be listed in the Gazette's event listings (see above).


Unit-level channels

Check with your unit's communications employee(s), or staff in your dean's, director's or department head's offices to see if your unit has any internal communications channels you can avail of. For example, some units have their own newsletters, and some units have digital advertising screens in their buildings. Academic units can send emails directly to their own students.
