A handy guide for submissions to the newsdesk

Stories

We love your stories, so give us an outline, or the story in its fullest form, with a contact number and we will get back to you.

Press releases

• Please submit press releases either in a Word document or in the body of the email. Pdfs meddle with formatting and information can be mangled!
• Your press release will almost certainly be edited – in our mission to get the most news and events possible in our magazine sometimes we must keep things brief!

Photographs

• Photographs, graphics and advertisements can be Pdf, Jpeg, png, tiff – almost any image format is fine.
• Readers love faces, not backs of heads – provide pictures of the people facing the camera please!
• Sorry – No Big White Cheques – they bounce the light. Try to take your photos in natural light and gather your group outside for the best light.

Whasson

Please include date, location, time, cost and contact details. Whasson entries are free for advertisers and for charity and non-profit events.

Posters

We don’t put posters in the magazine unless they are a paid advertisement. If you could give us the information typed out this is the best and safest way to give us info about an event. Thanks in advance!

Please don’t…

Email every address you have for us. One email to Newsdesk will do it or choose one of us! We all have so many emails that if we see the same email in more than one inbox it’s likely to get deleted….

And finally…

Journalists on the Newsdesk are supremely busy, please assume all your news, pictures and Whasson entries have reached us, and we will only contact you if we need more information…

Thank you so much for keeping us up-to-date with community life. We are here because of you!
