...in the magazine and on the web site

Your news item or product release must be of interest to the printed circuit assembly industry. Specific areas of interest for news include acquisitions, relocations, openings, closings, promotions, research programs, market studies, contracts, appointments, conference and tutorial locations and dates.

Your news must be current. Keep in mind that an average time of at least two months will pass before you see your news in print.

News for the web site is gleaned from the same information received for the magazine and is published on an as-received basis at the discretion of the editors.

Restrict yourself to a page or, at the most, two pages, and focus only on those details pertinent to the issue being discussed.

For new products, your release must cover a product or service that would be purchased by a printed circuit assembly professional.

News items, product releases, etc., may be sent electronically or by hard copy. Our editors prefer to received releases electronically.

Press releases sent electronically should be transmitted within the body of the message or sent as Microsoft Word attachments. Photos should be sent as .eps or .tif files. Include full contact information including company name, complete address, contact person and phone number. All material should be sent to: cdrysdale@upmediagroup.com.

Prepare the hard copy as follows:

• Type on one side only on 8-1/2" x 11" paper, double spaced.
  
  
• Use corporate stationery with letterhead for the first page. Include a full address with a contact person's name and phone number at the end of the release.
  
  
• Photos: Send good-quality, well-lit color prints. Identify the photo with a caption. Circuits Assembly reserves the right to edit or reject press releases, and we cannot guarantee a release will run in a specific issue.
