News Article Submission Policy
CCAP receives numerous article submissions throughout the year. CCAP can not publish every request received, but each will be given equal consideration. The CCAP Editorial Board meets on a regular basis and selects article topics based on member needs and prevalent issues. If the article is chosen, CCAP staff
will contact you following the review, but due to the volume of requests, CCAP is unable to contact individuals submitting topics not being used. Topics not selected for a particular article will be kept on file for one year. CCAP reserves the right to alter topic content or add additional article content to a
suggested piece. CCAP cannot compensate authors for articles submitted for publication. By submitting an article, you are granting copyright permission to publish the article in the Pennsylvania County News and use it in other formats and platforms as desired.
Author’s may request an electronic manuscript or reproduction of their article, as it appears in Pennsylvania County News, following publication. As part of its copyright agreement for Pennsylvania County News, CCAP grants the authors the right to place the final version of his/her manuscript on the
author's website, subject to CCAP's standards, or in a public digital repository, providing credit is given to Pennsylvania County News. When posted on property owned by the author (i.e. a website), the author should accompany the article with a tagline reading, “This article is provided courtesy of Pennsylvania
County News, a publication of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. It in no way constitutes any endorsement by CCAP of the products or services offered by the vendor.” The tagline should also state the issue date of the publication where the article was originally printed. The CCAP logo shall not be reproduced in any way.
