Postal Service Cutbacks Affect Post Deadlines

February 19, 2009

Roberta Donohue , Publisher

Budget constrictions within the U.S. Postal Service have forced us to adjust our weekly editorial and advertising deadlines here at the Palisadian-Post.

Previously, in order to ensure Thursday home delivery within Pacific Palisades (90272), we had to deliver that week's issue to the Postal Service's processing center on La Cruz Drive by 5 p.m. Wednesday. This deadline has been moved up to 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Therefore, in order to have the Post on our press by 10 a.m. Wednesday, here on Via de la Paz, we must move back our various deadlines.

* All prospective stories, weddings and cultural event announcements for the Lifestyle section must be received by Senior Editor Libby Motika (lifestyle@palipost.com) by 11 a.m. Thursday, one week before the desired issue. In other words, if you want your Lifestyle article to be considered for the March 5 issue, it must be received by 11 a.m. February 26 (unless you are in contact with Libby beforehand).

* All prospective stories and event announcements for the Sports section must be received by Sports Editor Steve Galluzzo (sports@palipost.com) by 11 a.m. Monday, the week of the desired issue'and earlier whenever possible. Ideally, Galluzzo wants to begin editing copy and arranging for photographs by Friday.

* All prospective stories and event announcements for the Young Palisadian section must be received by Staff Writer Sue Pascoe (features@palipost.com) by 11 a.m. Friday, one week before the desired publication date.

* All prospective news and features stories plus event announcements for the News section must be received by Managing Editor Bill Bruns (editor@palipost) by 11 a.m. Friday, one week before the desired publication date. Weekend news, obituaries, Two Cents calls (and e-mails), and Letters to the Editor and Opinion/Viewpoint pieces must be received by 9 a.m. Tuesday.

* The Display advertising deadline will now be 4 p.m. Wednesday. Classified advertising must now be submitted by 11 a.m. Friday.
