Gulf Coast Times is built around local stories, and some of the best stories begin with the people who live, work, volunteer, study, and do business in Brazoria County.
Residents are invited to submit news tips, event announcements, community updates, business milestones, school achievements, sports highlights, photos, and story ideas for possible coverage.
Local news works best when the community is involved. Whether it is a fundraiser, a new business opening, a student receiving recognition, a neighborhood concern, a public meeting, a local sports achievement, or someone making a difference, Gulf Coast Times wants to hear about it.
Submissions can help us find stories that may otherwise go unnoticed. Not every tip will become a full article, but every submission helps us better understand what is happening across the county.
Residents, businesses, schools, churches, nonprofits, clubs, teams, and community organizations are encouraged to reach out when they have something newsworthy to share.
Useful submissions may include upcoming events, ribbon cuttings, fundraisers, school programs, student awards, sports results, volunteer efforts, public safety concerns, local government topics, business updates, community announcements, and human-interest stories.
When submitting a tip or event, please include as much information as possible. Helpful details include the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the story. Include names, dates, times, locations, contact information, and any background details that may help us understand the importance of the story.
For events, include the event name, date, start time, location, admission cost if any, organizer name, contact information, and whether the event is open to the public.
For story tips, explain what happened or what is expected to happen, who is involved, why it matters, and who can be contacted for more information.
Photos may also be submitted for possible use. Please only send photos you have permission to share. If people are clearly visible in a photo, especially minors, make sure you have permission before submitting it.
Gulf Coast Times may follow up for additional details, verification, quotes, or photos before publishing a story. Submissions may be edited for clarity, length, grammar, and style.
At this time, Gulf Coast Times is focused on Brazoria County. As the publication grows, coverage may expand into additional Gulf Coast communities, but our current priority is building strong local coverage close to home.
To submit a news tip, event, announcement, or story idea, visit the Submit News page on Gulf Coast Times. You can use the submit news form or call the number listed on the site.
Gulf Coast Times is here to help tell local stories, but we cannot do it alone. Community submissions help us cover more ground, highlight more people, and build a stronger local news source for Brazoria County.
