How to:

Most news paper submissions are on-line today.  Some papers require you to register online before you submit. 

The best place to start is on each newspaper's news submission page.  Read the rules carefully before you proceed.  Some links are located on the left.

Write the article in word (or other software) first and check for grammar and spelling.  Also check the number of characters in the article - many papers limit the size based on characters.

Try to include the essential information up front (at the start of the article:  who, what, where, when how and why.  Avoid acronyms and complex language.  Be clear, brief and have fun.
