Early deadlines ensure newspaper elves get a break

While the news never sleeps, takes a holiday or goes on vacation, those who bring it to you do.

Larson Newspapers will give its busy elves a few days to kick back and put their feet up this holiday season, which means we’ll be working double-time before hand to make that possible.

As the pace in our workshop pushes full-steam ahead, we ask the public to do its best to keep up with us. We’ve moved our display advertising, classifieds, columns and news deadlines up to make sure we get your advertisement or news item well before the production elves are ready to put the newspaper together.

Deadlines for the Friday edition of the Sedona Red Rock News and The Scene on Dec. 23 and Dec. 30 will not be affected.

Our altered deadlines for the holidays are:

As is always true with submission, anything received after our deadlines won’t appear in the newspaper. During the holidays more than ever its important to get your advertisements, press releases, columns and letters to the editor in early so they have a better chance of making it into print.

We thank you for your cooperation and wish you happy holidays.
