Candidates: Your guide to the Times’ election policies, deadlines
The Hull Times will print free announcements of candidacy for the May 15 town election through our May 4 issue. Final copy deadline is Tuesday, May 2, at 5 p.m. Please note that no late announcements will be printed.
Announcements should be no more than 500 words. Clear photographs will also be accepted.
We will also accept press releases about campaign issues, but not fundraisers, which are the stuff of paid advertisements. Press releases may be published, if space is available, right up until the May 15 election. We reserve the right to edit or reject any submissions.
During the campaign, the Times may solicit candidates’ views on the issues. Priority will be given to those responses.
Letters to the editor will not be accepted from candidates, and letters for or against candidates for office will also be rejected. All material published in our May 11 issue – the week before the election – will be subject to close scrutiny because of the lack of opponents’ response time.
Political ads should be factual and in good taste. We reserve the right to reject advertising that makes assertions that cannot be verified. All political advertising must be paid for in advance of publication. Contact our office as soon as possible to reserve space – in our print edition and on our website – on a first-come, first-served basis.
For information about advertising, call 781-925-9266 or email office@hulltimes.com.
Press releases and announcements may be emailed to news@hulltimes.com.
Deadline is Tuesday at 5 p.m. each week.
