How to use The Citizen Digest to publicize your organization’s events
If your organization has news to share, please send it to [email protected]. We request that you limit your press release to 300 words, but we encourage you to submit photographs that will better draw attention to your event.
The deadline for electronic copy is Tuesday noon for publication on Wednesday, but the sooner you send your information, the longer it will appear in The Digest’s coming events listing.
High resolution photographs are welcome as attached JPGs; images embedded within e-mails cannot be accepted.
