For Journalists
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Department of Communications is available to assist with questions regarding Institute research and care initiatives, locating an expert in a certain area of clinical or research expertise, or obtaining more information about a news event or release.
Journalists are welcome at the Institute. To arrange an interview, videotaping session or photo shoot, please contact the Department of Communications at (617) 632-4090 or one of the media specialists listed below. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute requires advance notice from media representatives to coordinate the visit, including parking arrangements and the participation of interview subjects. To maintain patient confidentiality and privacy, a Communications staff person is required to accompany reporters, film crews and photographers during their time at the Institute.
Please contact us first if you would like to speak with a specific physician or researcher, or if you are looking for an expert in a certain area, we will arrange your interview. You may also sign up to receive the latest press releases by e-mail.
Our office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. For after-hours and weekend assistance, contact Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's page operator at (617) 632-3737 and ask for the Communications staff member on-call. Our fax number is (617) 632-5520.
