The office produced a daily news program, The News of Duke, and a weekly radio program, Challenges in Education (which eventually aired on more than 100 stations, including Voice of America and the Armed Forces Network). It also made documentary films, such as Medicine at the Crossroads (1966). It covers events and functions on campus, including trustee meetings, convocations, and protests. It sets up news conferences in cooperation with local and national media, interviews university personnel, and provides features on students for their home-town media.
