Can Community Members Submit Events or Classified Ads to Delta News Web?

Updated

Yes. Delta News Web gives community members two participation paths visible on its homepage: a Submit Events link for calendar items and a classified ads section that readers can browse. The page evidence confirms both entry points exist, but it does not spell out submission requirements, review timelines, or whether classifieds can be posted directly by the public. Treat the links as the starting point and confirm the details on the site itself.

Submitting an Event

The homepage's Upcoming Events block ends with two links: More Events » and Submit Events ». The Submit Events link is the route for getting a community happening onto the calendar.

What the page shows about the events section:

  • Listings are date- and time-stamped, such as "5:30 pm – 6:30 pm, October 26, 2026 – Our Lady of Sorrows Mass."
  • Recurring community items appear alongside one-off ones — Mass times, a prayer group, an AA meeting, and Story Hour sessions for two age groups.
  • Events are grouped in a block that also links to the fuller calendar via More Events.

A practical workflow, based on what the page makes visible:

  1. Open the Submit Events link from the Upcoming Events block.
  2. Enter the event name, date, start and end time, and location in the form the site provides.
  3. Submit and watch for the listing to appear in the Upcoming Events block or the fuller calendar behind More Events.
  4. Verify by reloading the homepage or the calendar page after a reasonable interval.

Common snag: the page does not state a cutoff for same-day or next-day events, so if timing is tight, submit early and check whether the item appears before relying on it.

Classified Ads

The homepage carries a New Classified Ads Today section with a direct instruction: "To see all the classified ads click on the tab at the top of the page and use the drop-down box."

What is confirmed:

  • Classified ads are a standing section of the site, refreshed with new items.
  • The current sample listings are employment ads — a Security Officer role with Alyeska Pipeline via Denali Universal Services, and a Supervisory Information Technology Specialist position with the Dept of the Army.
  • Navigation to the full classifieds runs through a top-page tab and a drop-down menu.

What is not confirmed by the page: whether readers can post a classified themselves, what it costs (no pricing signals appear anywhere on the page), or how long an ad stays up. If you want to place an ad, use the classifieds tab first and look for a posting or contact option there rather than assuming a self-serve form exists.

Other Community Content Alongside These

Submissions sit within a broader community-information mix, which helps set expectations about what the site publishes:

Content type Example from the page
Local news BLM winter Fortymile caribou subsistence hunt opening; ADF&G sport fishing survey mailings
School news DGSD lunch menus by weekday; school links for elementary through high school
Sports schedules Volleyball vs. Glennallen, wrestling in Anchorage, hockey and rifle matches
Photos Daily photo feature, e.g., chokecherry fruit and visiting waxwings and grosbeaks
Personal notices Anniversaries, such as Larry & Juliet Dorshorst and Jason & Rachael Woodcox
Events calendar Mass, prayer group, AA meeting, Story Hour

Anniversary notices include a "click here" link to send wishes, which suggests the site accepts at least some reader-submitted personal content beyond events.

Deciding Whether to Use It

  • Use Submit Events if your item is a dated, public gathering in the Delta Junction area and you want it on a community calendar that already mixes civic, religious, and school activities.
  • Check the classifieds tab first if you want to place an ad — the page confirms the section exists but not the posting mechanics.
  • Look elsewhere for guaranteed turnaround if you need confirmed publication timing; the page offers no stated deadlines or review process.

The most reliable next step is to open the Submit Events link and the classifieds tab directly and read whatever instructions appear there.
