The media are great friends of the San Diego Unified School District, our students, teachers and volunteers. Every year, many stories are broadcast and written about the great work going on in our district. Let them know about your events and great stories by contacting them directly. Be sure and send a copy of your "pitch" email to [email protected] so the Communications Department can watch the media for the story and share with the district community. If you have any changes to this list, be sure to send them to [email protected].
For tips on writing a press release, visit the Working with the Media page.
Morning news shows frequently visit our schools. The five-minute, live segments run from as early as 5:40 a.m. to as late as 9:15 a.m. There are generally four to six segments, spaced across the hours. If you're interested in inviting a morning show to your school, call the Communications Department at (619) 725-5578.
