(A full list of media active staff and where they were quoted is included with this report. Please note
that this list only includes those clips where a staff member has actually been quoted and does not
include other articles that relate to a specific study or activity. Copies of the media clips are available
on request. Contact Mandi O’Garretty, ext 72776, email [email protected] )
NOTES
Media clips are articles, summaries of radio and television interviews and online mentions picked up
by the media unit through our monitoring service and internal online monitoring. We do our best to
capture all articles and broadcast interviews however our monitoring may not be comprehensive.
Please contact Mandi O’Garretty in the Media Unit if your media coverage has not been picked up.
This overview is a snapshot of the Faculty’s coverage and does not provide any evaluation of impact
or reputation. Audience reach is based on the figures our monitoring service has for print, radio and
television stations.
Where staff are listed as being quoted in more than one media clip, it should be noted that this does
not relate to the number of interviews undertaken as some media outlets share stories, for example
if a staff member is listed as being quoted in 10 clips, this could be the result of one media interview.
