Adding News Guidelines
Would you like to add a news article? Great! We would love it if you did. All submissions require approval before publication so here are some editorial guidelines:
Latest News is meant for articles that are of interest to the gay rowing community and the GLRF community. Topics of interest might include:
- how your club is doing something for gay rowing or being supportive of the gay community,
- what you as a GLRF member are doing for the rowing community,
- if your club is sending a squad or team to compete at a gay-focused regatta,
- if your club or team is featured in the gay media.
What may not get past the editorial desk are stories that are club-centric (gay or straight) such as coming in first at such and such regatta or hosting a fundraiser or enjoying an end of season shrimp on the barbie. We do have an outlet for that and really encourage GLRF members to explore that: create a blog on GLRF for your club!
Want to run an article idea past the editorial first? Sure! Just send a PM to glrfcentral!
