The Hub FAQs
Contributed by: Jeremy Ashton/YourHub.com   on 9/17/2006

Because we're still the new kids on the media block, we get a lot of questions about how YourHub.com works. A few weeks ago, I wrote a column for the 6-month anniversary of our print section to answer some of those frequently asked questions. I thought it might help to post those answers online in case anyone missed them.

Q: How do I get a story or an event into YourHub.com?
A: Stories you read in YourHub.com the newspaper are selected from YourHub.com the Web site. To have something considered for the print section, simply log on to www.yourhub.com, register, and post your story or event online.

Q: What should I post?
A: Anything and everything that's news to you (no profanity or violent content, please).

Q: What if I'm not a professional writer?
A: Write your story as if you were talking to someone else. And remember to have fun.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: It's free.

Q: What's the deadline for the print section?
A: We generally stop taking submissions for an issue the Friday a week and a half before it comes out. For example, Friday, Sept. 22, is the deadline for the Oct. 4 issue.

Q: How can I increase my chances of seeing my story in the newspaper?
A: Be aware of our deadline, add a photo or two, and give us specific information if you're writing about an upcoming event.

Q: What if you didn't answer my question?
A: E-mail me anytime at jashton@yourhub.com, or check out the full list of FAQs on the Web site.
