USD in the News
USD in the News allows each item to be connected with a media outlet and faculty expert for added visibility. To add these two components to a post, prepare a USD in the News item as you would normally do and then add the following:
Media Outlet
Under the Media section of the posting form, go the Thumbnail field
The first time that you add a new media outlet logo, add:
The media outlet image
A thumbnail description/alt text such as ‘eagle and times logo’
Save the URL of each outlet logo in a personal text file (e.g. Google docs)
On subsequent postings from that same media outlet, do the following
Select Link to an existing image
Copy and paste the URL of the appropriate media outlet from your personal text file
Click Submit
Faculty Expert
Go to the USD directory and search for the faculty expert you need to add to your post
For example, searching for Matt Zwolinski brings up his profile
Right click on the faculty profile image and select Copy Image Address. This will save the profile’s image URL temporarily to your computer
Back in the MyPostings form under the Media section of the posting form, go to the Image field
Select Link to an existing image
Paste the URL to the profile’s image URL that you saved in the previous step
For the Image description/alt text, add the professor’s name and title, e.g. Matt Zwolinski, Professor
Ensure that Use as caption? is set to Yes
