East Cobb News understands the need for confidentiality in some cases for breaking news items but we cannot publish information from totally anonymous sources.

To submit calendar items, e-mail: calendar@eastcobbnews.com.

To send an announcement, e-mail: announcements@eastcobbnews.com.

***IMPORTANT FORMATTING NOTE!***

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Send us the body of your announcement, calendar item or news release IN TEXT FORM ONLY in the text field of your e-mail template. Reformatting text from PDF, JPG and doc files takes us longer to prepare your message for publication.

We accept PDFs as an accompaniment to your item. Images are fine too, but we prefer those to be JPG files (more than jpeg and png). PLEASE DO NOT send photos inside a PDF or text or any other kind of file. Of course, send us links that are relevant to your message so we can direct people to your website.

We’d also ask that you send items of an upcoming event at least a week in advance, or a week before a deadline for signing up for an event that requires registration.

Here’s how we can be reached via social media, for breaking news and news tips only:

• Facebook • Twitter • Instagram

PRETTY PLEASE! Do not send messages, releases or announcements to be published via our social media channels, or by text message. Please e-mail them to the appropriate addresses noted above.

***ONE MORE SUBMISSION NOTE***

If you are from a public relations agency or an individual sending a release on behalf of a client or organization (including non-profits), please submit items about people, events or entities in East Cobb and Cobb County only! 

We cover a big community with a lot going on and our pledge is to be all local, all the time. Releases that are not local will be discarded and we will not respond to follow-up inquiries.
