In general, the magazine does not publish editorials, endorsements of commercial products or services, or articles contrary to Department policy. In addition, articles about a specific event may be rejected if they are not submitted in a timely manner. If a submission does not meet the magazine's editorial standards, the editors will make every effort to work with the author to make the article acceptable for publication. Deadlines are the 15th of each month, about six weeks before a magazine's issue date. Once an article is accepted for publication, it will be scheduled to run as soon as possible, based on space limitations.
Priority is given to time-sensitive stories.
We cannot commit to notifying individual contributors when an article will run. The magazine is listed on State's unclassified e-mail system.
