Tips and guidelines for submitting stories to the News Wire

First of all: thanks.

News articles

E-mail news articles to wire@infidels.org. Please observe the following guidelines:

• Include the URL of the news article. Include the "http://" part at the beginning of the URL.
• If possible, configure your e-mail program not to wrap lines. This winds up breaking the URL across multiple lines, and we have to glue them back together.
• If it's not obvious from the article, and you happen to know, include the city and state where the news is happening. You would not believe how many online newspapers just assume you know where they are.
• It is not necessary to include the content of the news article, just the URL.

Events

E-mail announcements to wire@infidels.org. Please observe the following guidelines:

• Include the date, time, and location of the event.
• List a contact person, and an e-mail address and/or phone number.
• If appropriate, include directions to the event.
• If the event, or your group, has a web site, please include it.

Event announcements are generally presented verbatim on the News Wire; that is, copied straight out of the e-mail message exactly as it was typed.

Thanks

Again, thanks. Your submissions make up a significant portion of the stories posted.
