Submissions
If
there is something going on in your community that is controversial,
that other publications won’t touch, or is just flat-out
wrong, we want to hear from you. We like happy stuff too. If
you know of an “unsung hero,” we would love the
opportunity to shine a light on their deeds. We refrain from
publishing “fluff,” however, if you have a really
good human-interest story, we would be happy to review it. Please
include your name, the town you live in, phone number, and e-mail
address with all submissions.

in a journalistic style. Quotes must be accurate and facts substantiated.
We will check all story submissions for accuracy in content.

by 1–3 photos. Please submit stories in a Word document
or in the body of an e-mail. All photos must be JPEG format

You famous folks need to send your stuff to the same link below
