CHAPTER 1650 - PRESS, RADIO, AND TELEVISION
1651.11 - Feature News Releases.
Fishlake National Forest News Release Schedule. Stories having emergency news
value, such as forest fires, floods, etc., will be released to daily papers promptly after
the information reaches the Ranger or Supervisor's Office.
Stories having ordinary news value such as personnel transfers, meetings, development
projects, etc., will be mailed on Friday for release on Wednesday each week to prevent
daily papers from scooping local weeklies.
Articles requested or initiated by individual reporters will have first run in the reporter's
paper. If two or more reporters call for the same story, it will be released to them in the
order in which they call.
Feature story-type articles will be mailed on Friday to all locals and dailies for release on
Wednesday except where they are initiated by an individual reporter. Daily papers
based in Salt Lake City can more effectively be contacted through local reporters or the
Public Affairs Office on the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Salt Lake City.
New coverage on extra period project fires and other disasters will be handled by
assignment of a Public Information Officer.
