Deadline for submission is the 13th of the month for the following month’s issue, for example: Jan. 13 for the February issue. (If the 13th falls on a weekend day, the deadline is the previous Friday).

Please include contact information of the person submitting the release (name and phone number), as well as all pertinent information such as event date/time/location, if applicable; contact information specific to the release (i.e., registration phone number and deadline date, or who to contact if the reader wants to make a donation, etc.) Also include a short biography of the owner, if local, and general description of the business. The submission should total no more than 200 words.

Priority is given to news releases and other information that is emailed, versus fax or postal mail. Please attach the document as a PDF or a Microsoft Word document, AND copy and past the text into the body of the email as well, to avoid issues of incompatible software.

Preference is given to press releases or submissions related to businesses, people or organizations from the Central Phoenix area, or events taking place within the North Central News coverage area: Indian School Road north to Thunderbird Road, and 19th Avenue east to 44th Street. Those releases that are about businesses, people, etc. outside of our distribution area will only run if judged relevant to our readers, and if space allows.

There is NO guarantee that your information will run, regardless of whether it is about North Central Phoenix news or not. Regular events, such as monthly meetings, will only go in as space permits. Releases promoting a certain company, restaurant, etc. can receive a news brief in our Business or Dining sections once every 4-6 months at no charge. Advertisers with North Central News may have their business briefs run more regularly.

Photos also are accepted via email. Color photos are preferred; minimum size should be 5-inches wide, 300 dpi. Photos should be saved as .jpg, .eps or .tif files.

For more information, send an email to: editor@northcentralnews.net.
