NEW YORK — The Province’s Office of Communications has created a new way to gather news to share with HNP Today readers that it believes might prove popular with users.
An Information Submission Form is now available online to assist those contributing news about events happening in their ministries and parishes. The form was developed to be an efficient way for people to submit information. It was designed to guide users in compiling facts.
“The categories of information make the form clear for both the user and the recipient,” said Phil Jacobs, graphic designer in the Office of Communications. “I think the contributors will enjoy its ease of use because it will save them the trouble of organizing the material.”
To locate the form, visit the publications section of the Province’s Web site www.hnp.org and click on the link shown under HNP Today newsletter.
The communications office welcomes readers to choose either method of contributing news to be considered for publication in this newsletter:
- Write a draft article and e-mail the Word document to communications@hnp.org Some organizations, such as educational institutions, often submit press releases.
- Use the new Information Submission Form. Be sure that all names are spelled correctly. Any informaton that needs researching will delay the publication of your topic.
Contributors should e-mail news by the Thursday before the newsletter’s publication dates. Upcoming HNP Today distribution dates:
Aug. 1
Aug. 15
Aug. 29
Sept. 12
