Media Contacts

A Resource for Journalists

USC’s media relations representatives can help you track down the right subject matter experts who are on faculty. Whether you’re looking for someone from a specific school or with a specific topical expertise, you can find the best media staffer to help facilitate your inquiry.

You can also reach out to the university’s central media relations team directly through the official email (uscnews@usc.edu) and phone number (213.740.2215), which are monitored after hours and on weekends:
