Applegater Promotional Articles Policy

The Applegater welcomes informational articles submitted by businesses and professionals operating in the Applegate with the intent to serve the readers' interests, not those of the business or professional. Submissions should have informational or news value, such as opening of a new business, a change in ownership or location, offering of free public events such as an open house or workshop, or a change in products or services readers may find of interest or value. Articles primarily of promotional intent may either be returned with a request for changes or edited to remove promotional content. For full control over the content of their message, businesses and professionals may purchase advertising.
