Website – John Zebrowski

Once written approval is obtained, please submit all items on a floppy disk to the Content Editor or via email to: editor@trinitychurchcranford.com.

The press releases should follow the following guidelines:
• Keep the message concise. Brevity speaks volumes.
• Submit items promoting upcoming events happening at the church. People love to know what’s coming up, not what they’ve missed.
• You may submit news about recent events at the church, for historic reference. (Ex: report on Annual Parish Meeting.)
• You may not submit notices of personal events such as garage sales, family reunions, etc.
• Please keep in mind that this website is viewed by the public. It is not an in-house publication, so keep the tone professional but personable.
• No exclamation points. They look tacky and give off an air of desperation.
• Do not put text in all capital letters.
• Please use standard sentence structure in the active voice for upcoming events, and use the past tense for reported events. Avoid using a lot of adjectives making the item sound like advertising copy. Adjectives take up too much space and take away from the meat of the message.
• Stress substance over style.
• Approved content may still undergo editing but is not intended to change content meaning.
