How do I get my news into the paper?

Since we don't have a large enough staff to have eyes and ears in every part of the community at all times, we suggest you either email us about your event at wschneider@jewishhamilton.org or give us a call at 905-628-0058. Make sure you provide us with all of the important information (organizer, date/time/location/contact number for the public), particularly the relevance of the event to the Jewish community. If you send us an email, please follow it up with a phone call.

If I send in a press release am I guaranteed an article?

Unfortunately, we are limited in how much space we have for editorial content each issue because the size of the paper is limited. Sometimes special sections or more local community events means a bit less space for certain articles. This means that we are often left making difficult decisions about what will be published and when. We cannot guarantee that anyone's news or event will be published.

When should I write a letter to the editor?

Any time you have an opinion about an article, editorial, column or you if just have some thoughts on an issue of importance to the Jewish community, write to us. We encourage all of our readers to express their thoughts and opinions with a letter to the editor, as long as they are appropriate for a family publication. Once you send us a letter, we will contact the writer to ensure the letter is genuine and is for the purpose of publishing, not just sent for general information. Letters are edited for clarity and sometimes for length. We try to publish every letter submitted to us.
