Submissions
We welcome submissions to our Letters to the Editor section, Arts and Entertainment Calendar, Lifestyles Calendar, School News and The Scoop. Send all submissions to newsdesk@eosun.com.
Letters to the editor should be 400 words or less and include the writer’s full name, city in which he or she lives and contact information. Calendar submissions should be in sentence form and contain the event name, place, date/time, admission fee if applicable and a contact number/e-mail/website for more information. School News and The Scoop items can be any community announcement, including commendations or other accomplishments, either by a person or by an entity.
This is a service we provide to the community, and it’s always free of charge. Deadlines are 5 p.m. Friday for the following week’s issue. The newspaper prints every four weeks. We also regularly update our events calendar online, which has no specific deadline for submissions. If you’re looking for a more prominent mention — our blurbs are usually about 25 words — you can contact our advertising representative (jmccord@observernewspapers.com) for information about a display ad.
Community focus
This year, you’ll see a renewed focus on the Sun’s coverage area — Avalon Park, Eastwood, Stoneybrook and Waterford Lakes. The newspaper exists to support that community and we will be ramping up our presence at community meetings and events. Let us know how we can improve the newspaper and what you’d like to see us cover. If you think it could be a good story, tell us about it!
Corrections
We strive to bring you unbiased, accurate and compelling stories that you can’t find anywhere else. If you see an inaccuracy in the paper, please report it to newsdesk@eosun.com. We will publish any corrections or clarifications immediately on our website and in the next issue of the paper.
