Press Enterprise: Share your news
WHAT TO SEND?
- Local stories — people, places and events — that are unique to Riverside County.
- Club news about meetings, activities, special events and election of officers sponsored by civic, service, fraternal and social organizations.
- Business news of new enterprises in town, promotions, news employees, changes in hours, services and products.
- Church news and news of related organizations.
- School news of student activities, parent-teacher group meetings, school concerts, plays and other events like college honors, graduations, athletics and plays.
- Sports news about games, team registrations, tournaments and other activities.
- Programs at parks and libraries, along with other facilities available to the public.
- Entertainment venues, special events, family activities and other amusements.
WRITING A NEWS RELEASE
- All news releases should contain the organization’s name and address, along with the name and daytime phone number of the individual to be contacted in case more information is needed.
- Consider sending an electronic press release via email. Paste the text into the message field rather than sending an attachment that may not be compatible with the programs in use at The Press-Enterprise.
- Be concise. News releases, as a rule, should not be longer than 1½ pages, double-spaced.
- Be aware of submission deadlines. Most publications like material at least two weeks before the event. It can never get there too early.
