In fact, there are far more events than we could possibly cover with individual articles. That’s why we launched an event calendar and a weekly events post called the Arlington Agenda.
Some organizations email us with formal press releases about events. That’s fine, and for certain unique, newsworthy or large public events, we will use the press release to help us cover the event. For the vast majority of events, however, a press release is not necessary and we would instead recommend submitting the event directly to our calendar.
