Anyone can feel the urge to speak out or report a problem. A newspaper can be a good platform for this. But how do you publish a written article?
Instructions
Step 1
Based on the topic and message of the article, try to determine as accurately as possible in which heading it could be published. This will allow you to weed out those publications that are definitely not suitable. For example, if the article seriously considers the political situation, then it will not fit into the format of the "yellow" newspaper. At the same time, an article about an unnoticed but relevant cultural event held in the city may be published in an information and entertainment publication.
Step 2
Contact the editorial office of the newspaper. The article can be sent either by e-mail or by regular mail. Additionally, in the letter, include your first and last name, contact information so that editors can contact you, and the reason why you think the material should be published. The use of e-mail can make communication more efficient. A well-formed and well-written letter will generate more respect.
Step 3
It is not necessary to write a letter to the editor. Instead, you can go to the editorial office of the publication. Personal communication will allow you to quickly establish contact. Of no small importance in this matter is the ability to conduct a dialogue and make a good impression. If you have these qualities, then a personal visit to the editorial office can become more effective.
Step 4
If the selected publication has a journalist working on the subject of your article, contact him. You can contact him either by e-mail or meet in person. As a rule, journalists are interested in finding new material related to their topic. Therefore, if the article seems appropriate to him, it can be published.
