It’s pretty easy to get your news published on the NNS site, says Ana Martinez-Ortiz, community engagement reporter. (Photo provided by Ana Martinez-Ortiz)

At the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, our mission is to help the people and organizations in our community.

One of the ways we do this is through “Posts from Community.” This feature is the place where you can submit news releases and photos. Submissions are checked and approved on a weekly basis.

“Posts from Community” reaches our audience through the NNS website and social media. In short, posts are by the community and for the community.

Below are some examples of “Posts from Community”:

•Post from Community: MKE Black announces new executive director

MKE Black announced Rick Banks as its new executive director.

•Post from Community: Ascension Wisconsin and Outreach Community Health Centers expand dental services on Milwaukee’s North Side

Last month, Ascension Wisconsin posted about its dental services’ expansion.

•Post from Community: BBB Scam Alert: This get-rich-quick con promises fast money on Cash App

The Wisconsin Better Business Bureau took advantage of “Post from Community” to alert the community on money-flipping scams.

If you haven’t already, I hope you consider using “Posts from Community” to your advantage in the near future.
