Newshare Submission Guidelines

User members

If you are a User Member , you may:

Submit letters to the editor to letters@newshare.com.
Send E-MAIL to contributing writers whose E-MAIL addresses are shown underneath their bylines.
Use a response form to send tips, news and other communication to our editorial staff and content-area Publishing Members.
E-MAIL queries, advisories or tips to editors@newshare.com.

Keep all submissions brief (200-300 words) and be sure to include your daytime telephone number as well your full name, address and any professional affiliation.

Contributing members

If you are a professional journalist or artist and expect to be contributing to the Newshare Syndicate on a regular basis, you should register as a Contributing Member . With proper electronic identification, Contributing Members may post E-MAIL to other Contributing and Publishing Members through the Newshare(SM) FORUM (forum@newshare.com).

FORMATTING TEXT: Contributing Member text submissions should rarely be longer than 400 words. Paragraphs should begin with the letter "p" between brackets (the figures above the comma and period on your keyboard). Items to be in boldface should be preceeded by "b" in brackets and followed by "/b" in brackets (no quotes). Use a bracketed "i" to start and "/i" to end italicized items. Not only does this formatting facilitate the conversion of text to graphic browsers, but it also represents a universal format for news organizations who wish to purchase and typeset content.

SUBMITTING TEXT: Written submissions should be sent to a single category or to editors@newshare.com. Members posting to more than one category will have their posting privileges suspended. If in doubt about an appropriate category, E-MAIL your submission to editors@newshare.com with a note at the top requesting assistance and possible multiple posting. You will normally receive a reply message telling you where your material has been posted.

FORMATTING GRAPHICS: Graphical submissions should be encoded in GIF format and files of greater than 100K will be discarded unless special permission to transmit is obtained in advance.

SUBMITTING GRAPHICS: Submissions should be sent as an attached file to graphics@newshare.com The accompanying E-MAIL message should clearly state the name, affiliation, daytime phone number and address of the content provider and Newshare ID.

FORMATTING/SUBMITTING AUDIO: All audio submissions should be sent as an attached file to audio@newshare.com
