What kind of photographs can be published on Fluoride Issues?

Original photographs for the Web should be of the highest quality possible. Computer screens are not as clear as printed media. Pictures from newspapers do not copy well. Photos sent on disk should be scanned in JPEG format. A finished picture in JPEG format must be in 72 pixels per inch so it will fit on the screen properly.


Preparing Manuscripts

Lengthy manuscripts should be submitted on a diskette or sent by e-mail. Use the text only format when you save the file using your word processor program. For quotation marks, do not use "smart quotes." Smart quotes are not recognized by current Web browsers. Use straight quotes. If a manuscript is already on the Web, just send me the URL.


Sending Copyrighted Reprints for Fluoride Issues

Written reprint permission must accompany reprints of copyrighted articles submitted to Fluoride Issues.


Who supports Fluoride Issues?

Fluoride Issues is an independent publication. Fluoride Issues needs your financial support to stay on the Web.



Press Releases

Press releases should be timely and concise. An effort should be made to present the plain facts. If someone's opinion is reported, it should be clearly identified as an opinion.


Standards for In-Depth Reporting
