Submitting Content for The Loop and/or Corecon

To submit content, visit support.raleighnc.gov. The portal is named "Corecon and The LoopContent Add/Change." 

The submittal deadline is NOON on the day before you'd like it to appear. This deadline exists for several reasons - it takes time to locate and edit images, write and/or edit content, upload articles to CORECON, and organize The Loop. For this reason, requests submitted after the deadline will not appear in the next edition.

In general, new articles will appear on Corecon for 30 days. In The Loop, articles will first appear at the top, then move to the "News and Reminders" section until their dates have passed. Time-sensitive information will re-appear at the top as the date approaches.

Photos and/or images are encouraged and should be in .jpg format sized 600 x 450 (4:3 ratio). Pixlr is a great website for editing and resizing photos.
