Salient. Newspaper of the Victoria University Students' Association. Vol 42 No. 2. March 5 1979

[Introduction]

Before writing any stories, articles etc, you you should check with the Editor (for 1979 Peter Beach), to check that he wants a story on that topic. If he doesn't you will be wasting a lot of time writing it. Also checking first means that he will be able to make sure that space is left for it and will also ensure that no duplication occurs with a number of people writing articles on the same topic.

Although anyone is free to submit articles to Salient, there can be no guarantees that any article (whether it has been discussed with the editor beforehand of not) will automatically be printed, nor that it will be printed in the form in which it is submitted. This is because the editor has ultimate responsibility for the paper and therefore must have final control over it.

Aside from feature articles, which are usually planned by the editor, and commissioned personally, there are several types of articles that people can walk in and offer to do. So if any of this list interests you, come in and see Peter about them. The deadline for copy is the Wednesday the week before publication (eg for the next issue, the deadline is Wed. 7 March).
