A few facts about the News Bulletin’s stance on local pageants:

1) Yes, we are happy to run photos from the pageants in the newspaper. We also post them as quickly as we can on our Web site, www.crestviewbulletin.com. The participants seem to enjoy seeing their photos, and we seem to sell more papers. It’s a win-win for everyone.

2) Yes, the local pageant organizers are helpful and pleasant to work with

3) Yes, we run the photos in the paper as soon as we can. If there seems to be a delay, it’s either because we’re missing some key information or we’re waiting for a better space in the paper. For example, there have been times we’ve delayed publishing pageant photos by a few days so we could print them in color instead of black and white.

4) Yes, we make an active effort to help put together the information that is needed.

5) No, our receptionists don’t have control of how quickly we get all the information we need, nor do they have control of when we are able to publish the photos in the paper. If you are one of the people who called in the last few days to berate our receptionists for not having control of those things, I urge you to call back to apologize.
