Submit your tips to Burnaby Beacon

If you’ve got a news tip or story idea, we’d love for you to pass it along.

We typically have room for just a couple of stories for our Thursday issue—these are first-come, first-served. The sooner you get your pitch to us, the better.

Story ideas & news tips

• Reply to our Beacon newsletters.

• Email us at [email protected]. If there is interest and/or capacity, we will respond within 48 hours.

• We do not recommend re-sending follow-up emails. Tips are responded to in the order they arrive in our inbox.

• While you can DM tips to us via social media, those pages are sporadically monitored. E-mail is the best way to guarantee we see your tip. You may not receive a reply if you reach out over X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Press releases

• Email us at [email protected]

• We do NOT respond to region-wide or nation-wide press releases unless they are of interest and they are specific to Burnaby.

• Items with a turnaround of 48 hours (from when your email is received to when it should be published) are not guaranteed to be featured

Events

To list your event:

• Reply to our New West Anchor newsletters

• Email us at [email protected]

• To ensure we see your event, we ask that you please do not DM information over Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or TikTok, as they can sometimes end up in separate folders; email has been the best way for us to ensure local events are included. Anything sent through DM over social media is not guaranteed a space.

When you send us your event info, do let us know the following:

• Who is hosting it?

• What's the event for? (Fundraiser? Not-for-profit? Arts/crafts fair?)

• The date(s) it'll be happening

• Any additional links, email addresses, and/or phone numbers you can share with us (links to buy tickets, learn more info, registration, etc.)
