If you’ve already contacted a member of our staff, please send your contribution directly to them. Unsolicited materials, op-eds, press releases, letters to the editors, etc., can be sent via e-mail to editor@uwmcforum.com. If you are a staff writer (enrolled in COM 104), you must submit your articles via Google Docs.
Outside contributors, please submit articles as word documents (note that this has changed from the past). Submit images as JPGs. Images should be at least 600 dpi.
We strongly encourage writers to think about how their story will appear on the page–think photos, graphics, and sharp headlines. Reporters who supply photos and graphics will probably get a better treatment on the layout.
