Know someone who would make an interesting Neighbor Profile for the Brentwood News?

People are always calling and asking how to get a Neighbors Profile in the Brentwood News, Oakley News or Antioch News. For the purpose of the internet folks, let me just say that these newspapers only print local content. That means that neighbors that are spotlighted must be residents of Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Bethel Island Knightsen, Discovery Bay or Byron to be featured in the newspaper.

Each neighbor must have a news worthy feature about them. That can mean a lot of things. Perhaps the neighbor is a member of a non-profit group, or has won a special award. They might have establish a world record or is doing something good in their community. Check out some of the people features in the below posts.

If you think you have a good neighbors story send a request and I'll run it by my editor.

Also, Neighbors are different from business owners. I also do a weekly business column. Again the business must be located in Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Bethel Island Knightsen, Discovery Bay or Byron to be featured in the newspaper. There are some stipulations that I must follow for the business column, but if you think your business would make a good spotlight go ahead and e-mail a request.

There is no guarantees here. All final decisions on who is featured is made by the higher ups at the paper. It doesn't hurt to give a try.
