Story tips

If something is happening in Cedar Key, Levy County or the Nature Coast that we should be covering, tell us at editor@cedarkeybeacon.com.

Documents, agendas, notices and photographs are all welcome. If you would rather we did not use your name, say so in your message and we will not publish it.

Corrections

If we have published something inaccurate, write to editor@cedarkeybeacon.com and tell us what is wrong. We will check it against the source, correct it, and note on the article that it was corrected and when. We do not make changes silently. Our editorial standards set out how we handle this.

Press releases and announcements

Send announcements to editor@cedarkeybeacon.com. We are interested in local government, business and the working waterfront, aquaculture and fisheries, the environment and the refuge, weather and storm recovery, and community events.

To give a release the best chance of becoming a story, please include:

• a date, and whether it is embargoed;
• a named contact who can actually be reached, with a phone number or email;
• a link to the underlying document, dataset or agenda item;
• any images you are able to license to us, with a credit line.

We always go back to the primary source, so a release that points us straight at one is far more useful than one that does not. We cannot guarantee coverage, and we do not publish releases word for word.

Advertising

For advertising and sponsorship, write to advertise@cedarkeybeacon.com. Advertising has no influence on what we cover, and any sponsored material we carry will be labelled as such.

What we do not cover

We do not report on crime, name suspects, publish booking photographs or cover criminal court proceedings. Please do not send us tips of that kind - we will not use them.

Emergencies

We are not an emergency service. Do not contact us to report one. In an emergency call 911, and follow the instructions of the National Weather Service, the National Hurricane Center and Levy County Emergency Management.
