Guidelines For Journalists

Filming on Campus

• MSU's open, park-like campus makes it an ideal setting for filming of daily events and activities. Special permission to film for daily news stories and events is not typically required.
• Entry to campus buildings may be limited; see above guidelines on access to residence halls and classrooms.
• In the event of a critical incident or emergency requiring police or fire response, access to areas usually open to media may be limited to allow emergency personnel to ensure safety and security. In those instances, media should follow guidelines at the site of the incident.
• See below for guidelines on filming for purposes other than news, such as political advertisements.
