| The pages of
the printed version of The New Castle News, especially the feature pages,
are planned well in advance of the actual publication date. In fact,
there are different deadlines for almost every section of the
newspaper. To get your story published in a timely fashion, a general rule of thumb is to submit your material at least one week in advance of the publication date, sooner if possible. If you are unsure about specific deadlines, contact the Editor. |

| Engagements
and Weddings The New Castle News publishes wedding and engagement announcements. A form to write down all the event's details is available from the Editorial Department at The New Castle News. All announcements must include a name, address and phone number for verification. We will publish an announcement with or without a photo. Photos must be of good quality black and white. When submitting a photograph to The News, if you want it back, then the photo should be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Photos not accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope, will be held for three days upon receipt. If the owner has not returned for it within three days, it will be disposed of. Anniversary The New Castle News will publish the following anniversaries: 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, and all years thereafter. Stories will run in the Wednesday edition. If an open house is planned, it is advisable to submit the announcements two weeks before the event so that it will appear in the paper at least one week before the open house. Forms are available in the Editorial Department. The same photo policy for engagements and weddings applies to anniversaries. |
