What Virtual Viking publishes
Virtual Viking prioritizes content that is timely, useful and broadly relevant to students.
For events, Virtual Viking generally promotes events that are:
- Free
- On campus
- Open to all students
- Welcoming and accessible to a broad student audience
Events should be appropriate for a general student newsletter and should not be limited to a narrow membership group, course, major, club or specialized program unless there is a clear campuswide reason to include them.
Virtual Viking generally does not promote individual student groups or recurring student group meetings. Student groups should use PSU Connect to promote meetings, events and opportunities. Virtual Viking may occasionally include broader student engagement opportunities when they are open to all students, have campuswide relevance and are also promoted by Find Your PSU.
Virtual Viking generally does not promote sales, fundraisers, donation drives, individual crowdfunding campaigns, student surveys or solicitations for research participation. Exceptions may be considered for university-sponsored initiatives that are broadly relevant to students and aligned with the purpose of the newsletter.
Publication timing
Events are generally published during the week they are happening.
Submissions may be considered for earlier publication when there is a compelling reason, such as an advance registration deadline, application deadline or limited-capacity opportunity. If earlier publication is requested, include the preferred publication date in the submission.
Requested publication dates are not guaranteed. Items are scheduled based on timing, audience relevance, available space and editorial discretion.
Publication and editing
Submission by the deadline does not guarantee publication. Items are selected based on timing, relevance, audience, available space and alignment with the purpose of the newsletter.
Items may run once or, when appropriate, more than once based on timing and available space. Repeated publication is not guaranteed.
Submissions may be edited for length, clarity, tone, style, accessibility and audience relevance. Edited items are not typically returned for review before publication.
