Media Contact Center

Communicating with the media is an influential step in the legislative process.  Letters to the editor can educate the public and influence your elected officials.  Any communications with the media should be short, clear and personal.  The best letters tell the story of how the University of Illinois positively affected your life, your child’s life or your community.

To write a letter to the editor, enter your home zip code below.  Once you click on “Submit” you will be given a list of the media outlets in your area.  Check the box next to the newspaper you’d like to contact.  If you need help drafting a letter, please contact us at illinoisconnection@uillinois.edu or 1/800-524-1420.  Thank you for your input!
