The UCSF News Office receives hundreds of requests each year from local, national and international media outlets. If you would like to cover a story involving UCSF experts, patients, research or clinical programs, please review the following guidelines in our links.
Photos, videos and graphics are available for media use on many key topics from our image download page.
Fact sheets are compiled on some of our biggest ongoing stories. Each is clearly dated and, because stories constantly evolve, facts should be rechecked with our news services staff before publication. Click here for our latest fact sheets.
All UCSF contracts with outside affiliates include a section on how and when industry partners and external affiliates may refer to UCSF in external marketing or media outreach. These are spelled out in UCSF Industry Media Guidelines. Any announcements also must comply with guidelines for the Use of the University of California Name set forward by the UC Office of the President and UC Board of Regents.
Each member of the UCSF news team oversees a wide array of beats, serving as the first point of contact for reporters seeking experts and faculty and staff seeking public relations advice. For areas outside of these beats, please email or call News Assistant, Derek Deike, (derek.deike@ucsf.edu or 415-502-6397).
