Requesting content on central channels
We receive a large number of requests each week for content to be posted on central social media channels.
Though we cannot share everything, we always like to know what's going on at the University, and will do our best to share as much as we can.
To request a post or reshare of your content, email social-media@york.ac.uk. You should include:
- Detail on what you would like promoted
- Any relevant links, information, visuals or accounts to tag
- Any relevant embargoes or deadlines
- If possible, a draft social media post
We may edit or adjust submitted posts without notice.
Please provide a minimum of one week's notice for post requests, even if some details are still to be confirmed. We cannot accommodate requests received less than 72 hours ahead of the post time.
