I’m writing with exciting news from Washington University in St. Louis.
In addition to offering faculty experts for live and taped interviews from our Vvyx/ISDN-equipped in-house broadcast studio, Washington University has launched a free service to provide media with both broadcast- and web-quality video news packages.
Our first package, which includes video segments offering expert tips on avoiding holiday weight gain, educational toy purchases and the psychology of holiday tipping, is available by request in multiple formats for ease of use and re-editing. We will be sending you an e-mail preview of our new service shortly; however, if you would like to view the service now you can visit:

Our radio/television broadcast studio also is available at no charge for media interviews with university sources. This service allows you to conduct live-remote or taped interviews without sending a crew. For information, visit:

Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) is the 12th ranked university in the United States (U.S. News & World Report rankings, 2006). Our media-savvy faculty are available for comment on topics ranging from science and medicine to social policy and politics, and finding just the right source is easy using our keyword-searchable online faculty database:

Washington University continues to make breaking news and feature stories available on our news and information web site (http://news-info.wustl.edu) and now, more and more of these stories will be enhanced with broadcast-quality video. All are available free for use by the media. We ask only that you mention Washington University in St. Louis in the final version.
We’re looking for new and better ways to provide with news you can use, and welcome your suggestions on how we can improve our services. Please let me know if you have questions or would like help arranging an expert interview with any of our faculty experts.
