For instance, a club event would probably be covered by the Accent Department, so ask for the Accent editor. The editor will discuss the picture possibility with you and tell you if sending a photographer is warranted. The editor also will check the photographer's assignment book to see if the particular time slot is available. When you hang up the phone, you should know if a photographer will be present at your event. The important thing to remember when requesting a photographer is to call early.
Schedules fill up quickly, especially during busy weekends.
You can buy a print of any photo published by a photographer of The News-Star. Contact the Photo Department at 362- 0268. Our editors determine the sorts of things that become news stories. If your submission is turned down, the editor will be happy to discuss it with you and explain why. And you're always welcome to submit other news ideas or tips.
