UNION MEDIA POLICY & GUIDELINES

The Washington Teachersʼ Union (WTU) enjoys a strong relationship with members of the media, and our goal is to be responsive to your needs as well as provide accurate and timely information. In order to continue to ensure productive media interaction, we have established the following media guidelines.

1. All media inquiries or requests for information should now be directed to our Director of Communications, Monique LeNoir. You may contact Monique LeNoir directly by phone: (202) 293-8620 or by e-mail: mlenoir@wtulocal6.org.

2. Interviews with the WTU President or any other WTU Officers must be arranged through the Director of Communications.

3. When contacting the WTU for an interview or to request information, all media representatives must identify their media outlet, purpose of request and deadline.

4. Advance notice is appreciated when requesting an interview so that detailed arrangements can be made.

5. If the WTU President is not available to speak, he will designate an official spokesperson via the Director of Communications to comment on behalf of the WTU.

6. Please note: If you do not adhere to this process when requesting WTU statements or interview requests, statements or opinions received will not represent the official WTU position as it relates to your media topic.
