Publication Guidelines for UUCT

Publications

The deadlines for publications have been updated.

• Submissions for the Wednesday newsletter
  • must be received no later than 5:00pm on Tuesdays, and
• submissions for the Sunday newsletter,
  • must be received no later than 5:00pm on Wednesdays.
• Please remember…
  • there will be only limited announcements for the Sunday newsletter
    • since the purpose of it is primarily for Sunday worship.

Contacts

Publications are handled by the Publicity team…

• This includes the weekly e-blast newsletter, the UUCT website, and Facebook. 
• Send your submission emails to announcements@uuctucson.org. 
  • Note that often announcements are appropriate for multiple outlets — so this ‘announcement email address’ is typically the best place to submit.

Email Guidelines

The all-church email is sent every Wednesday. The primary purpose of the email is for leadership, and other groups of interest, to remind the congregation of upcoming services and church-related events.

Email announcements are:

• Brief — links are encouraged in the interest of brevity 
• Send to announcements@uuctucson.org

The publishers reserve the right to establish priorities during a busy news week.

Announcement Guidelines

The A/V team runs announcements prior to the Sunday Service.  To be included in the slide show, please email insert here

• Due by 9:00 a.m. Thursday for that Sunday’s service
• Brief (Who, What, When, Where, and a Contact person)
• No more than 50 words
• Upcoming events (happening in the next 2 weeks) OR “Save the Date”
• Can be repeated a maximum of two times

Designed to give information about the church and its’ mission and to assist members with ongoing church information and newsletters.

Information needs to be sent to webmaster@uuctucson.org for input onto the website or announcements@uuctucson.org for things designated for multiple outlets.  Please include an expiration date (when it can be removed from the web site) in the email. An indication that it never expires is ok. Best formats are text (such as in an email), MS Word, and PDF. Please be aware that graphics and formatting may change.

Facebook: Unitarian Universalist Church-Tucson

Submit through announcement@uuctucson.org.  Submissions are shorter announcements and potential links of interest.  The Facebook administrators have final say over whether to post.

Guidelines

• Use announcements@uuctucson.org rather than individuals
• Please put for which publication(s) in the Subject line of the email
• Must be in by the deadline date if there is one
• Flyers/inserts can be added to only for the website
• Please communicate with your group/committee and select one member to be responsible for your submissions
• Please eliminate repeated information
• Emails are greatly encouraged but if that is not possible, please write legibly on paper with your contact info and leave in the Office Manager’s mailbox
• If you resubmit the same topic for subsequent newsletters, please change the wording. Focus on a different aspect of your story. Variety encourages people engage with UUCT in different ways.
