How to submit a story to the Ridge Times
If all else fails, just give us a call or pop in at the office where one of our friendly staffers will direct you to our editorial team.
The Ridge Times prides itself on giving you the latest news as it happens, but do you know about a story that we are not aware of?
Great! Here are a few ways to help you that can help us to get it published:
Social media
We are very active on our social media platforms, so look us up on Facebook and send us a message with the specifics of the story.
You can also use our twitter handle @Echo_Ridge_News to draw our attention to an article or statement of interest.
Don’t be shy to tag us in a photo on your Instagram feed as well, we might just like the photo and perhaps use it in the newspaper.
E-mail, WhatsApp or phone
Not one for social media? No problem! Send us an e-mail and we’ll follow-up.
