Fen Edge News Editorial
The Fen Edge News (FEN) accepts articles and event listings from FECA member groups, subject to space. FEN does not normally accept articles from non-members.
News items, or short term events that don’t meet the publication schedule can be posted on this website and/or on the FECA Facebook page.
The Autumn 2024 edition will be distributed starting 20 August 2024. A number of things caused us to slip the usual schedule by about 3 weeks: getting Festival reports in, Adult Education course bookings and holidays at the distributors.
The Copy Deadline is the date by which I must receive copy for it to go into that edition. For the next edition this date is 28 October 2024. I will send out a reminder to all FECA member groups a couple of weeks earlier (the Canvas Date).
Issue | Issue Title | Covers Period | Canvas Date | Copy Deadline |
121 | New Year 2025 | Dec-Mar | Fri 11/10/2024 | Mon 28/10/2024 |
122 | Spring/Summer 2025 | April-July | Fri 7/2/2024 | Mon 24/2/2025 |
Please note the following:
• Photos are welcome (300 dpi min resolution for print), and will be used as space and quality permits.
• I will edit for language if necessary, and may need to edit for length in order to fit the material to the available space, or I may come back to you if I need help reducing length.
• If I run out of space, articles that arrive last may not make it into the edition, even if they arrive before the copy deadline.
• Material that has appeared elsewhere, such as in another newsletter in the Fen Edge Patch, or is a press release will have a lower publication priority. This means if the edition is over full, such material will be cut, even if received well before the copy deadline.
I welcome attractive Fen Edge local photos for the front cover.
To allow a photo to be published:
• It must have the permission of the copyright owner (this will be acknowledged in the edition if the information is provided)
• If it includes adults taken in a private location, consent must be given by those adults
• If it includes children (even in a public location), consent of the guardian(s) of those children pictured should be given. If necessary I will obscure details so that individuals are not identifiable.
