News Media Contacts
While locations are encouraged to use the
local and Church media to introduce and inform the public about their activities, effective interaction with the media requires professional skills
and a broad overview of the archdiocese and Church. Accordingly, no employee
may communicate with any member of the press on behalf of the archdiocese or the location without express permission from the person in charge of the
archdiocesan Communications Department. All communications by locations with any member
of the press in person, by phone,
email, websites, or social media are to be coordinated through the
Communications Department (213-637-7215, communications@la-archdiocese.org).
Communications Department personnel are available
both during and outside of regular working hours. In controversial or possible
litigious matters immediately contact the Office of the Legal Counsel and the Communications Department; if the controversial or litigious matter involves a school, the Department of Catholic Schools must also be contacted.
The Communications Department will oversee communications and media interaction
and will act as the spokesperson or coordinate with those who will speak to the
press.
