How to Submit a Story for Inside MC

Step 1: Submit story through the link Submit Your News

Step 2: Enter your contact information.

Step 3: Choose a category for your story that best fits the overall theme of your submission. If your story is about an award or honor, the best category may be Accolades. If you would like to announce a change in College policy, then Need to Know may be appropriate.

Inside MC Online editors from the Office of Communications may need to reassign your story to a different category upon editing.

Step 4: Give your story an informative, short headline. Use words to hook the reader into reading your story, giving prominence to the subject of the story. All words within the headline should be capitalized, with the exception of articles and prepositions.

Step 5: In the Story Text window, paste the text of your article. Include everything that is important in terms of what, who, when, where, how, and why. Please keep in mind that online newsletter stories should be kept as concise as possible. The shorter, the better. Stories cannot be any longer than 5,000 characters.

If you wish to submit a detailed article that requires great length, please type it as a Word document or PDF and attach it to the story. Write a teaser in the body to direct viewers to read the attachment for the full story. This process should be used sparingly.
