California Chronicle Launches Local Public Information Service
Los Angeles – To better serve its readers, the California Chronicle has launched a new free service providing local public relations and information officials with the unique opportunity to self-publish news, articles, and announcements directly on the California Chronicle website and home page. This service will decrease the turn-around time on information of critical importance to the public, which traditional publishing methods might otherwise delay. This service is directed at public relations and information officers who work for municipal, state, county, educational, non-profit, and community organizations.
Articles will be immediately syndicated and appear in all major Internet search engines, as well as in many major news aggregators, such as Google News, Topix, and Lycos. Interested parties may apply for these accounts by writing to editor@californiachronicle.com with the specific request for a "Public Information Account."
Articles are easy-to-post and may include an author's byline or an organizational byline. Contributors retain the copyright of their submissions and may publish or circulate the identical material elsewhere if desired.
Articles are accompanied by an "information box" that may include information about the organization, links to specific web pages, and an email address for feedback about the article. Articles may include links to other non-commercial websites to refer readers to specific web pages for further information.
Individuals who are interested in becoming a part of the California Chronicle team should send a note of introduction or a specific request for an account to the editor at editor@californiachronicle.com. The California Chronicle website can be found by clicking here: California Chronicle
