Our goal with parish news is to keep it as interesting and readable as possible by providing timely and newsworthy articles and photographs. It is part of our mission to tell Anglicans throughout this diocese what other Anglicans are doing, from Yarmouth to Glace Bay and Montague to Tignish. But writing for the Times is not quite the same thing as writing for your parish newsletter. While many parishes designate a Diocesan Times correspondent, we are pleased to hear from anyone with an interesting news item or photo to contribute. If you do have an active correspondent, it s a good idea to coordinate your efforts to avoid duplication.
News can be an unusual or unique element related to a common occurrence.
For example, the bishop making his annual visit to the parish is not normally news. Tell us what s newsworthy about the item you have sent near the top of your submission. If a new outreach program has been developed, tell us what it s about, who is involved, the goals of the program, why it is unique to your parish, why it was established. You can include a little about the parish itself so people who may never have visited you will get a sense of who you are. News can be an article, a stand-alone photo with caption, or an article with a photo.
