Communications & media relations is the buying group for stats and live-data providers, media-relations software, broadcast and content-production vendors, creative-services tools. Typical titles in this group: Assistant AD for Athletic Communications; Director of Media Relations; Sports Information Director; Communications Assistant. Whistle customers filter these positions by conference, school, state and sport, see each person's name, title and contact details where the directory publishes them, and get an alert when one of the positions changes hands.
Positions are counted when the published job title matches the communications & media relations pattern (and not an exclusion such as student, intern or graduate assistant); the same rule produces the counts and the change tallies.
Change counts compare successive reads of each school's official directory; a school's first extraction and any day on which 25% or more of a roster appears or disappears at once (a re-read, not turnover) are excluded. This page is published when at least 3 covered Pennsylvania State Athletic schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.
