We provide you with a guiding document with a set of general rules for journalists that assist you in regulating external communications about the University of Algarve.
One of the functions of the Communication and Protocol Office (GCP) is to mediate contact between the University and the Media. Whenever journalists need to film, photograph or conduct interviews, GCP can be a facilitator, helping select locations, asking for permission to film or photograph.
