Sending in a report?
Here are some simple tips to make meeting reports and
other news items better.
• 1. Remember to answer “who”, “what”, “when”,
“where” and “why” or “how” about your meeting.
•2. Print all names carefully so there is less chance of
error on the newspaper’s part.
•3. Remember a meeting report is not the minutes cf
the meeting. Peoplearemore interested in what the guest
speaker had to say than the fact the treasurer’s report and
the minutes were read.
•4. Keep your report as concise as possible. Space is
limited inanewspaper. Thebetteryou useyourspace, the
more likely your report is to be printed in its entirety.
Thanks for your help.
