ASU News
ASU News is the main storytelling/publishing platform for many units across ASU. Published stories appear on the ASU News site and on unit websites (depending on tags and how their newsfeed is set up), as well as in the thrice-weekly ASU News email (to about 47,000 people), the weekly ASU Insight email and on various social media platforms.
The ASU News team has four reporters who cover specific beats; news.asu.edu features both their work and stories written by units across the university.
