The Fife Free Press is the weekly newspaper for the Kirkcaldy area, which includes Burntisland. This page is for those who are interested in submitting Burntisland material for publication in the paper, and in particular the Local News column. Contact details are at the end of this page.

Burntisland Local News

The Fife Free Press is always keen to receive news from local organisations in Burntisland, and we know that local folk are keen to read it. For you and your organisation, there are all the benefits of appearing in a weekly newspaper with a readership approaching 50,000. It's a great opportunity to tell everyone what you're doing and what your plans are.

You can drop your news off to me at the address below, which is next to the Costcutter store. Go up the close, and you'll find the secure mail box on the wall at the foot of the stairs. You can also send me items by e-mail or fax (contact details below).

My normal deadline is 4 p.m. on the Tuesday, for that week's paper. If you have a late but urgent item which won't be available by then, but which you can get to me by first thing on the Wednesday morning, I should be able to arrange for it to appear that week. If you intend to do this, please warn me in advance.

News stories and photos

If you have an item which you think might make a good news story, contact the Fife Free Press reporters (contact details are at the end of this page). They are also your contacts if you want to ask for a Fife Free Press photographer to attend an event which you're organising. The Editor will also consider your own digital photos for publication.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me (contact details below).
