Web news
Getting news on the site
Suggestions for news stories and photo opportunities are welcome. News suggestions for the Web are most helpful when they are made a week in advance for events that need simple coverage and two weeks or earlier notice for stories that need lengthier coverage.
How are home page stories chosen?
News stories and features on the home page are selected because they help represent the university community and all that encompasses an education at Concordia.
Variety, newsworthiness, and visual interest are all important factors for news on the home page and elsewhere on the site. Stories that can combine a compelling story and photojournalistic photography typically are given priority. Not all suggested stories or photo-ops can be covered.
Events highlighted as calendar items on the home page will likewise be Concordia-related and have a broad impact and audience. Announcements for events hosted at Concordia would typically fall into this category.
