Multiple copies of a news release can cause confusion and duplication. In these cases, just call our city desk at 362-0278 with your news tip. The responding editor will evaluate the information and determine an appropriate response. If your news is of a more routine nature, we prefer to get it in writing. That helps us protect against errors and prevent misunderstandings.
Photographers schedule their time just like reporters.
Call the appropriate editor several days in advance to schedule a photographer. Let them decide what will make the best picture. You're welcome to suggest ideas, but don't stop the action to stage a photograph. But we'll have to look at it first to be sure we can publish it. We can use some color photographs, but have trouble with those instant-type cameras.
