Guidelines

Here are some general guidelines for submitting information for publication in the Lodi News-Sentinel’s Local Ledger column.

Local nonprofit and nonpolitical events open to the public with proceeds benefiting a nonprofit group will be considered for Local Ledger.

The event must be of general interest for inclusion in this section. Fees charged for the event are usually under $10, with events charging more than that amount being placed in other sections of the newspaper. The editor will determine which items will run and where.

To be considered for publication, items must be received a minimum of one week prior to the event.

If you prefer not to use the online form, information submitted must be legible, preferably typed, and on standard-size paper. Forms are also available at the News-Sentinel office at 125 N. Church St. in Lodi.

The submitted information must include who is putting on the event, what the event is for, and when, where and why the event will take place. All items must include a name and telephone number of someone whom we can contact for more information. If that information is not to be published, please note that fact. Include as much information as possible.

We will choose what we can use. It is better to have too much than too little information.

Items will run in the order they are received and as space is available.

If you have any questions, please call our Newsroom Assistant at (209) 369-7035 or send your question via e-mail to news@lodinews.com.
