Festival Newspaper Information

Stet Press Festival Newspapers

Stet Press are a group of journalists, editors and graphic designers experienced in producing daily newspapers for arts festivals, with the added benefit of arranging educational work experience for local students to join us and gain practical knowledge of a journalistic environment. We are available to work on site at festivals ensuring no event is left uncovered and all news and information is as up to date as the moment it happens.

Stet Press was initially formed in 1999 to produce Literally Speaking for Cheltenham Festival of Literature.  We have since gone on to produce Locator, the newspaper for Gloucester's Locations Festival and Litmus Paper for Cheltenham Festival of Science.

If you think your festival may in any way benefit from having a professionally produced, intelligent and informative newspaper or would like more information, please contact us

Proposal

- We can produce a daily newspaper, featuring news, reviews, interviews and previews throughout the festival. Its up-to-the-minute, upbeat style ensures it will be a desirable and popular addition to the programme.

- We can also produce a preview edition for pre-festival publication, or for the first day of the festival.

- We recognise the importance of a newspaper as an educational resource and subsequently propose to liaise with schools and colleges in your local area to provide an opportunity for them to experience the journalistic, editorial and design work required to produce a high-quality daily publication.

- We can organise a list of students interested in writing for the newspaper and allocate events to each individual prior to the festival, guaranteeing all necessary readings are covered. Further to this, we propose that selected students have the opportunity of in-depth work experience with us, covering all aspects of writing, editing and design.

- We will supply all the hardware/software necessary to produce the newspaper on site and supervise the distribution of each issue with the help of volunteers. We suggest the newspaper is photo-copied to reduce printing costs.

- If required, we can create a daily PDF document of each issue suitable for downloading to your website, allowing those unable to attend the festival to remain informed.

- The standard template and name of the newspaper will be produced by us in collaboration with the festival.
