- When sending news
to ANN, consider:
- Whether the story is timely-stories more than two weeks old
are generally too "stale" for publication.
- Whether it deals with a theme or event that has impact beyond
just local interest. (Is it a "first," or a unique event?
Or, does it involve a significant number of people? Or, does it involve
well-known people or institutions?)
- Whether it is news, as opposed to promotional.
(A story announcing an upcoming religious liberty conference and inviting
people to attend is promotional; an article reporting on what
took place at the religious liberty conference may be news.)
- Include the following
information:
- What happened?
- When did it happen?
- Who was involved?
- Why is this significant? What impact did this event have?
- Quotes from people expressing opinions about the event or explaining
more about its significance. (Include the individual's first and
last names.)
- Statistics, where necessary. (How many baptized? How many attended
the rally?)
- Are there photos?
- E-mail photos to ANN in a JPG format. Where possible,
make sure resolution of photos is at least 300 dpi.
- E-mail news and
photos to:
- Send a copy to AdventistNews@gc.adventist.org.
