Photo Submission
All photos should be sent in at the highest resolution possible (200-300 dpi or better), in color and uncropped. Digital photos are preferred. Printed photos may be bought in for scanning; mailed photos will be returned with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
E-mail photos to ochcnews@gmail.com
Photos may be mailed to:

Photos should be taken with journalistic intent for the purpose of recording the event. Try to avoid posed or “snapshot” style pictures whenever possible. Please avoid writing or time stamps on photos — they will be cropped out or removed. A few basic tips to taking better photos can be found here.
News Article Submission
The Herald-Chronicle accepts and prints community news events with relevance to Osage County and our nearby coverage areas.
Please submit as much information about the event as possible. Answer the who, what, where, when, why and how, and provide enough information for an outsider to understand. Please include a daytime phone number(s) of people who we can reach for clarification and additional information.
