The Media Relations Officer is a deputy position under the Seneschal. The Media Relations Officer acts as the official contact point for the media and by extension, the public. As an officer, the Media Relations Officer must be a paid member.

Much like a Seneschal, the role sometimes interfaces more with the “real world” in its administration than other offices in the SCA. It can be quiet for long periods of time, broken by a flurry of activity in short bursts requiring close attention.

The Media Relations Officer is responsible for:

• Responding to media requests in a timely manner.
• Serving as a liaison between media and a local branch or event so that everyone knows what to expect.
• Accompanying media to an event, and doing their best to make sure the SCA is well represented.

The current Media Relations Deputy is HE Avelyn Wexcombe.
