As a student your voice matters. You may occasionally be approached by the University, or even external organisations for interviews or videos. Make sure you’re asking the right questions before saying yes!

At Sussex we have a number of student Digital Media Creators (DMCs), who create videos and content for the University. Sometimes they’ll ask students to be involved in videos or short interviews for the University’s social media channels or the Student Hub.

Our DMCs will always let you know what the purpose of any video or interview is, where it will be published, and will ask for your consent before filming or interviewing you.

Students sometimes also get approached by external organisations or media for interviews, either on campus or elsewhere.

If you’re ever asked by anyone for videos or interviews, it’s important to find out who they are, what they are gathering content for, and remember that you’re always free to say no!

One of our student Digital Media Creators, Accalia, shares some key things to be aware of in her video below:
