Media, Journals, & News
The ACC's Communications Department provides a number of services to
the media, including news releases, journal articles, a press kit, and other
resources. If you have any questions, please contact
us.
Media Resource List
The ACC maintains a list of Fellows of
the College who are willing to provide information to the media in their
area of expertise in cardiovascular medicine and current health issues.
We can provide contacts for a wide range of topics, including prevention,
heart disease in women or the elderly, lipid-lowering therapies, high
blood pressure, cholesterol, surgery, ethics, workforce and training
issues, and many others.
News Releases
Every month, the ACC distributes highlights of selected studies from
our journal, the Journal
of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). These highlights are
available on our home page, or can be sent to media representatives
via e-mail. To be put on our list, send your request to amurphy@acc.org.
Full copies of articles can be obtained by e-mail (amurphy@acc.org)
and look for selected articles on the JACC home
page.
Annual Scientific Session
The College provides extensive facilities for the media at its Annual
Scientific Session. This includes daily news conferences, news releases,
information on major clinical trials, and more. The ACC Newsroom is
equipped with computers (complete with Internet access), telephones,
faxes, photocopiers, modem access, and a variety of other services.
In addition, information from the ACC media kit and audio copies of
news conferences are available through the media section. News conferences
are recorded in Real Audio® format and are available immediately
following a news conference. The next meeting will be held on March
24 – 27, 2007, in New Orleans, LA.
The media can also receive a complimentary subscription to Cardiosource,
the ACC's new partner and the only site for full-text access to some
