Submitting Your News
Share Your Community News
The Saline
Reporter welcomes news releases about upcoming events, articles
profiling people of interest in the community, guest columns,
community group activities and accomplishments, professional
achievements, sports news, and student- and school-related stories.
We also appreciate news tips. If you have information to share that
you don’t feel comfortable writing yourself, e-mail a synopsis and
contact information to
editor@salinereporter.com so we can determine whether a reporter
should be assigned to follow up.
How to
Write A Press Release
Provide the who,
what, where, when, why and how.
Who: The Saline Area Historical Society
What: will hold an open house
Where: at Rentschler Farm Museum
When: from 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 22
Why: as a benefit for the museum to help pay for utilities
and other costs associated with
maintaining the building.
How: Volunteers will give tours of the museum and
refreshments will be served.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for students. For
more information, call 429-7380.
How to
Send Your Information
E-mail the press
release in Word format or in the body of the e-mail to
editor@salinereporter.com.
Deadline is 1 p.m. Monday (or Friday if Monday is a holiday), but
it’s recommended that you submit it two to three weeks in advance so
it can be processed and has as many opportunities as possible for
publication before the event.
Submitting
Photographs
The Saline
Reporter welcomes photographs. A digital format (jpg), high
resolution is preferred sent as an attachment in e-mail. Everyone in
the photograph must be identified by first and last name, from left.
Provide information for a photo caption detailing the image
captured, including the who, what, where, when, why and how. Keep in
mind that space constraints could mean your photograph won’t be
published for a few weeks. You also can share your photographs with
readers by uploading them directly to our Web site in a photo
gallery
http://micentral.mycapture.com/mycapture/photos/, with a link to
our site. Simply click on the “photo sharing” button in the
right-hand corner of the Web site’s home page. Categories include
community, events and festivals, nature scenes, kids, pets and
animals, and sports and activities.
Space
Limitations
Because of space
constraints, there’s no guarantee a news item or photograph will be
published, although the news staff will do its best to get in your
submission. The only guarantee is an ad, as this space is reserved
and paid for. The size of the newspaper is based on an
advertising-news ratio. Keep in mind that the more advertising a
newspaper has, the more space it creates for news as pages are
added. Supporting the newspaper through advertising, whether it’s a
2x3 ad announcing your event or a business advertising its services
through a larger ad, means there’s more space for local news.
Web Site
Extras
Don’t forget our
Web site, which reaches more readers than the newspaper. News
updates and breaking news stories are posted several times
throughout the week. Also, post your comments on our staff blog,
“Inside the Newsroom,” which includes our observations after
attending community events, local issues that we want to bring to
your attention, news stories we’re working on and other information
that we want to highlight, at
http://heritageweststaffblog.blogspot.com. There’s a link in the
left-hand corner of our home page. In addition, view local videos of
community events, sporting events and general news at
www.salinereporter.com.
In addition, readers may upload their own videos directly to the
site by clicking on the video sharing button.
