Article Writing And Publication

While the more information you provide in the form will result in higher quality articles, it is important to remember that different publishing platforms carry different word count limitations. The Writer(s) will do their best to condense as much of the information as possible into the article, but there is no guarantee that all of the information will be used in the article. The significance of the information will be prioritized by the Line Manager according to the best interest of the University.
The media platform in which the article will be published is up to the discretion of the Line Manager and will be based on the best interests of the University.
Unfortunately, we cannot quote a timetable in which the article will be written and published as it will be subject to multiple variables such as the number of University events occurring and media publishing schedules. We will do our best to get the article written and published as soon as possible.
Articles will not be published until approved by the Line Manager.
