Observer Policies

Letters to the Editor

A local newspaper is about hearing what others have to think and say. But because of limited space, we only print letters from Observer subscribers, who are welcomed to make their opinions known to us. Letter of 300 words or less have the best chance of being printed. We reserve the right to edit letters, but we will make every effort not to alter the author’s intent. Send your letter to the editor to kathy@ycobserver.com.

Engagements, Weddings and Anniversaries

We like to include pictures here, and depending upon their quality, we try to print them at a width of 4.25 inches. Please include as much information as you can, but be advised that we may have to leave some of it out, depending on space. Please see Forms section or e-mail information to kathy@ycobserver.com.

Birthdays

As with the above announcements, we are also happy to print notices of “milestone” birthdays. Please see Forms section or e-mail information to kathy@ycobserver.com.

Birthday Bulletin

One of our most popular features is our Birthday Bulletin. If they have been submitted to us, we print the birthdays of subscribers and immediate family members free of charge. Fill out our convenient online form to be added to the bulletin listing.
