This document provides guidance for student media on how to effectively cover major stories or disasters on campus. It recommends establishing emergency plans and contact lists in advance. When an event occurs, the key steps are to quickly assemble a team, staff the newsroom, assign roles like rewriting, and prioritize speed and depth of coverage. Outlets should use all available platforms to update coverage continuously and seek sources on social media. An effective package tells the full story through multiple articles, photos, maps and other graphics. Interactive features can help the community connect and heal. Mobile formats extend reach, and staff well-being should also be considered in the aftermath.
