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 a short 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.
Suggestion Box
If you have an idea but no time to write it, we’re here to help! Send your idea (news item that would interest others, suggestion for a member profile, etc.) along with your contact information to njfop@911media.com. Our editors will be happy to assist you.
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.
Spring 2014 deadline: March 18, 2014
Summer 2014 deadline: June 2, 2014
Fall 2014 deadline: September 2, 2014

What to Write About
It’s easy! 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 800 words maximum. Please submit articles in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect format. All articles are subject to review, editing and approval by the NJ 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.We love pictures!

You can also mail your materials to 911MEDIA, c/o production 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.
