The La Voz staff welcomes community calendar information and sports story ideas. Deadline for both news and advertising is the Wednesday prior to publication. This is a fine line, and it is one that is often subject to different interpretations. For the most part, announcements of upcoming meetings, special events and other planned activities from groups and organizations that perform service to the public fall under the news area. Announcements that are designed to bring a company or individual personal gain tend to be advertising.
News is run free.
There is a charge for advertising. The proceeds will help purchase new playground equipment. Your group needs volunteers to help and they can sign up by calling Mary Smith at 555-5555. You just did. The best way to get your event published is to send it to the newspaper in the simplest, most direct form.
