How to send news to YourArlington

| Written by Publisher | Print | Hits: 225693

Do you have news about Arlington? Send it to the publisher. Here's how:

An old-fashioned reporter

-- Your news should be related to Arlington, Mass. (News about neighboring communities is welcome, but can be published as the publisher's time allows.)

-- If your news is an event, you must provide who is sponsoring (and a way to contact them), what the event is, where it is to take place, when it will happen, why it is taking place and any further information helpful to understand your report.

-- Email news as plain text (no formatting, no Word docs).

-- If you have a photo, attach it to the email.

-- Email publisher at yourarlington.com.

If you have an opinion -- which is not news and is your viewpoint -- you want to be published, please see this FAQ.
