Op-Ed & Community Voices
Submit your story.
We publish first-person essays, neighborhood reporting, and community announcements from residents of Ward 7 and Ward 8. Every submission is read by our editors.
A note on selection
Every submission is read and reviewed by our editors — but spots in each edition are limited. If your story isn't selected, it doesn't mean it isn't worth hearing. We weigh timing, space, and balance across the paper, and we encourage you to send your work in again.
Prefer email? You can also send your story, photos, and contact details directly to thecapitalnewsteam@gmail.com. Editors typically respond within two weeks of an edition's deadline.
