MEDIA SERVICES & POLICIES
Interviews - All interviews with Morehead State coaches, student-athletes and staff members must be arranged through Athletic Media Relations. After games, matches and other athletic events, locker rooms are generally off limits to members of the media. Player and coach interviews may be conducted on the playing surface or in a designated area after a 10-minute cooling off period. On non-game days, interviews can be arranged around class and practice schedules.
Practices - Attendance at practices must be arranged through the Athletic Media Relations.
Game-Day Coverage and Press Passes - Any media member covering a game, match or other contest hosted by Morehead State University is asked to reserve a press credential at least 24 hours prior to the event.
Parking - Media parking is located in the large lot east of the Academic-Athletic Center. Names of media members attending either a football or basketball event will be on a list with an attendant.
Press Conferences - In the event of a press conference, the primary media covering Eagle athletics will be notified as far in advance as possible. To be added to the primary media list, contact the Athletic Media Relations staff.
Press Facilities - Jayne Stadium, Johnson Arena and Allen Field have specific press accommodations. Seating priority will be given to primary media outlets.
Media Hospitality - For basketball, a media hospitality area is located outside of room 156 of the AAC. At halftime and after the game, NCAA statistics will be distributed on press row and in the hospitality area. For football, media hospitality is located in the Jayne Stadium press box.
Technology - At most Morehead State athletic events, an internet connection will be made available to members of the working media. When those amenities are unavailable, an appropriate working space will be made available before, during and after events. Please contact the Athletic Media Relations Office for more information.
Radio - Any visiting radio broadcasts must reserve their seating and internet lines in advance of the event. The visitor's radio station is provided space on press row at Johnson Arena and in the visitor's radio booth at Jayne Stadium. An ethernet line is provided.
Photographers - Photographers are asked to remain in the respective end zones for basketball. For all other sports, standard shooting spots may be utilized. The standard media policies apply to photographers as well. For football games, photographers are not allowed to congregate behind the team bench areas and must shoot from from either end zone or beyond the 25-yard lines.
