Web reporting101: For contributing events, stories about events

Exact addresses in announcements will make it easier for those attending

The editors of ColumbiaMagazine.com want to make more information available in the briefest form possible, and ask that those submitting news use Rudyard Kiplings six honest serving men to check submissions before hitting the send button. The rules go like this:
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I know);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
5Ws and an H: Who? What? Why? Where? When? and How? If the news story answers these questions, it will yield more results, put more people in seats, in pews, and in the bleachers. We're especially asking for that all events stories include the exact street address and, if that is impossible, tell the street the location is on along with cross streets on either end of the block.

With any story about an event, we ask that at least one paragraph, suitable for posting in the CM Events calendar, succinctly announce the Event and answer the 5Ws and and H, and include the exact street address of the venue.

We also request that those submitting material for posting on ColumbiaMagazine.com always include their name, phone number, and a return email. Material submitted must be signed if it urges an action or expresses an opinion. E-mails are posted on request, only; phone numbers are posted unless otherwise requested.
