Third & Short
Media Guides
Universities across the country are
paying close attention to the content in their media guides. Schools
are forced to do so in order to insure themselves of not facing
a controversial situation that could jeopardize their reputation.
In response to specific cases involving false information and slandering
comments of opponents in recent media guides, some schools have
altered the manner in which they compile their information.
Our coaches are asked to sign off on the information presented
in their coaching bios after carefully examining the content. In
addition, the coaches have been self-governing in presenting us
with the proper information we request for our publication,
football SID at N.C. State, Annabelle Vaughan commented.
Vanderbilt makes certain that each coach inspects the subject matter
at least three times before approval is given to print media guides.
We have tried to be more vigilant in assuring ourselves, the
coaches, and the University that the information is accurate, especially
with a new coaching staff onboard, said Larry Leathers, the
football SID.
These Universities have chosen these methods to allow their coaches
the opportunity to correct false information that they or the University
may have provided.
