The easiest and most visible way to represent your lodge and communicate with the more than 200 other FOP lodges across the state is through the New Jersey FOP News. Don’t miss out on the chance to feature your lodge in the next issue.
How It Works
- Ask someone affiliated with your lodge to write an article describing the most recent news and events.
- Email the article and related photos to njfop@911media.com.
- See your lodge’s accomplishments printed in the New Jersey FOP News.
Deadlines
To ensure that your lodge is included, please submit all materials by the following closing dates for each issue. Materials received after the deadline will be accommodated if there is space.
Summer 2010 issue: Monday, May 17.
Fall 2010 issue: Friday, August 6.
Winter 2010 issue: Monday, November 8.
What to Write About
It’s easy to get started. Any or all of the following will make excellent topics for your lodge’s article:
- Upcoming lodge events
- Awards/achievements
- Promotions/retirements/new hires
- Fundraisers/charitable activities
- Changes in lodge leadership
- In memoriam information
- Human-interest stories
- Contract updates
- News items
Article Guidelines
Articles may be up to 1,000 words maximum. Please submit articles in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect format. All articles are subject to review, editing and approval by the state lodge.
Picture Guidelines
We love pictures! Please email photos in either .jpg or .pdf format, at 300 dots per inch (dpi) or greater. To verify the photo size, check the file size of your image. If it’s less than 250KB, chances are the photo won’t reproduce well in print. Digital cameras of at least three megapixels or greater will take the highest-quality photos. We will do our best to accommodate low-resolution photos; however, the FOP reserves the right to omit photos that will reproduce poorly.
You can also mail your materials to 911Media, c/o editorial manager, at 4444 Riverside Drive, Suite 202, Burbank, CA 91505. If you need your original hardcopy photos returned to you, mark them with your lodge’s name and address, and include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your submission.
Questions
Please call (609) 270-0202 or email njofp@911media.com if you have any questions.
