Credentials
Media Credentials for reporters, broadcast media, photographers/videographers are required for specific sporting events. Please contact the Sports Information Office to request a credential, though credentials are not guaranteed. Notification is appreciated in advance to reserve space in the limited media work spaces. Broadcast Media wishing to cover events at Doane University athletics facilities should notify the Sports Information Office at least 3 days in advance (and by Monday on the week of a football game at Doane). Credentials will be required for all post-season events.

Internet
Wireless internet is available for media with a limited number of ethernet ports available (for Baseball/Softball Complex, Haddix Center and Al Papik Field).

Photography/Videography
Please contact the Sports Information Office with questions. Approval to be at athletic competitions is required. Photographers/Videographers who do not keep an appropriate distance from the competition area or interfere with the flow of a competition event will be asked to leave or move into the stands. For opportunities outside of athletic competitions, such as practices, staged shots, etc., with players and coaches, arrangments go through the Sports Information Office. Photos and videos taken by outside vendors can not be sold.

Interviews
Post-game interviews with Doane coaches and players are available to media personnel after the team has their post-game meeting immediately following the competition. Players and coaches will be made available on the field or outside their respective locker rooms for interviews. Interviews during the week with players and coaches need to be arranged through the Sports Information Office.

Media Services
Media Services at most Doane athletic events include a game program, lineups, and statistics/results if applicable (individual & team stats and a play-by-play summary).
