The pages of
the printed version of The Tonawanda 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 call our newsroom at 693-1007. |

Engagements and
Weddings
The Tonawanda News publishes wedding and engagement announcements
in the Saturday edition. A form to write down
all the event's details is available from the News Department
at The Tonawanda 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. We will make every
effort to return photos accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed
envelope, but we are not responsible or loss or damage of photos.
Deadline for accepting engagement forms is at least two weeks
before the wedding. Forms are dated upon receipt and run in the order in
which they arrive.
Anniversaries
The Tonawanda News will publish the following anniversaries: 25th,
30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, and all years thereafter. Stories will
run in the Saturday newspaper.
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 News Department. The same photo policy for
engagements and weddings applies to anniversaries. |
