As The Bedford Citizen begins its eighth year, we are streamlining our calendar listings for community events to assure the best coverage and community response. The key to our coverage is getting your event or series listed in BeTC, The Bedford Citizen calendar.
There are three easy but important steps:
1) Click “Submit an Event” link to add your event to BeTC as soon as you know the date, up to a year in advance. Please include the full text of your press release, a featured image, even a link to a YouTube video.
2) To be considered for editorial coverage, please resend your press release as an MS Word attachment to [email protected] at least three weeks before your event.
3) Report back, after your event takes place: Crisp cellphone images from your event, a short recap, and a thank you to the community are welcome and will post in The Citizen‘s main newsfeed as space is available. Email your report to [email protected].
Now that you’ve done your part, what does The Citizen offer?
In addition to appearing in BeTC, all events for the coming month will be listed chronologically in the weekly email summary goes to our subscribers at 7:30 am each Sunday.
If you’re not already an email subscriber, click this link and get on the list.
On the Sunday before your event, it will also be featured in the “Coming Next Week” section of the weekly summary.
If you are willing to ping [email protected] five business days before your event, we will post it to Facebook and Twitter.
