The Big “But” On Op-Ed Submissions

by Steve MacDonald

With New Hampshire’s Legislative season back in full swing, alongside most others, and the inauguration of Donald Trump, there has been an increased interest in sharing opinions. I love this and encourage everyone to keep the electronic “cards and letters” coming. Some checks and donations would be great, too. Free independent journalism, as they say, isn’t free.

Firehose

Trump has come out of the gate full speed, and we have local bills and hearings oh, my – so send me your articles, group communications, or press releases on an upcoming event or hearing, BUT I need them several days before the date of the thing. My curation schedule plans content a day in advance. I can sometimes move items that are not time-sensitive and am always happy to publish breaking news or very hot takes outside the regular schedule, but there are limits, and in some cases, one day of notice for an event or hearing isn’t enough,.

Worry not, erstwhile op-ed authors; I have regular writers who still don’t quite grasp the publication schedule, which is also fine because, like yours, I do so very much appreciate their contribution. But we’ll make more of a splash if we give people a few extra days’ notice for that thing you’re excited about.

We’re excited to help you share it; I’d like a few days to work it in if you can spare them.

See our FAQ and look for op-eds for more details and please send us your thoughts.
