How to publicize your event in The Enterprise
Enterprise staff
Bringing the news of our community to others is what The Davis Enterprise is all about.
We are dedicated to promoting activities that will enrich our community. But as we strive to help publicize activities offered by local organizations, we have a responsibility to all of our readers to provide news that is balanced, timely and newsworthy.
Thus, the basic criteria for deciding what will be printed in a newspaper are two: newsworthiness and reader interest.
Keeping that in mind, here are some tips on how to submit news releases: Preparing a release
the reporter or editor to revise your copy for newspaper style. Your task is to be well-organized and present complete information so that it can be easily read and understood.
The news release that will most quickly and favorably catch an editor’s eye will: • Be sent via email — either pasted into the body of the email or attached as a Microsoft Word document — to newsroom@ davisenterprise.net for a news release, sports@davisenterprise. net for a sports release or arts@ davisenterprise.net for an arts/ entertainment release. • Press releases also may be submitted via web form at www. davisenterprise.com/pressrelease/, or be mailed or dropped off in person to our office at 315 G St. in downtown Davis. • Be written in standard upper-case/lower-case format. It’s often difficult to tell whether something would be capitalized or not when written in all capital letters. • Have a lead paragraph that clearly states the facts of the story: WHO are the important people involved with the event; WHAT is to be going on; WHEN it is happening, with specific reference to dates and times, including advance reservation dates if appropriate; WHERE the event will happen, with a specific and complete address; and WHY the story is being written.
Often you’ll want to say HOW the event is happening, i.e., the guest speaker is in town to receive an award for his or her achievements. • State a reservation deadline at the top of the story, not the bottom where it may be overlooked by a hurried editor. • Have words that are all spelled correctly — especially the names. Please put (sic) for “spelling is correct” next to unusual spellings for names. This is why we will not take news releases over the phone; the danger of misunderstanding the spelling of names or other information is too great. • Not have acronyms. Spell out the name of your organization or association, at least in the first reference. And in case the editor may have questions about the information in the release, include your name and daytime phone number on your release. Please also include contact information — phone number or email address — for readers who may have questions or need to make reservations. • Be complete with correct times and places. • Be submitted two weeks ahead of the date of the event or the deadline for registration. Photos welcome
We also welcome photo submissions. They must be sharp and of good contrast, at least 300 dpi and sent in .jpg format. Please include caption information explaining the photo and identifying everyone pictured. Contact information
