News Guidelines

Who can submit News?

Computing at Cornell News is open to announcements and news items from Cornell’s IT, technical, and computing community.

Submissions are invited from special interest groups (SIGS); IT-related committees and working groups from across campus; Cornell’s distributed IT community; Cornell Information Technologies; student  groups with an IT mission or focus; and academic and research computing groups.

What kinds of information are appropriate for Computing at Cornell News?

  • Service announcements
  • Planned and unplanned service outages
  • Accomplishments and milestones
  • Faculty, students and staff in the news because of their IT-related publications, presentations, and projects
  • Links to IT-related articles in the Cornell Chronicle, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and EDUCAUSE Online, for example. These are especially appropriate when they reference Cornell programs and people.

How do I submit a News item?

Cornell faculty and staff: Use the Submit News form. A CIT moderator will review your article, contact you and/or edit the article if needed, then post it.

Cornell students: If you also have a job at Cornell, use the Submit News form. Otherwise, send your article to citnews-web@cornell.edu. A CIT moderator will review it, contact you and/or edit the article if needed, then post it.

When will my News item appear?

News items will be posted within one to 24 hours, Monday through Thursday. CIT will make every effort to post news submitted on Friday on the same day. Otherwise, Friday submissions will appear the following Monday, except holidays.

If your news item is urgent, for example, there is an outage of a critical service; an event is happening tomorrow; or many people are affected by an IT incident; please use the Check here for Immediate Posting field on the form. The CIT moderator will immediately review and process these items.

How can I ask a question about submitting News or provide feedback?
