Ideas and News Tips for the Tripod?
The Tripod welcomes story ideas and news tips via our online form here or sent directly to tripod@trincoll.edu. Tips can be submitted anonymously, though providing contact information is appreciated so we can verify the content and accuracy of the story.
NB: if the Tripod cannot verify the authenticity of the facts submitted and has no way to get in touch with you, we may not be able to publish your story.
Providing contact information does not mean that your name will be published or shared. However, please note that the Tripod assumes that all information gathered in subsequent interviews is “on the record” unless you, as a source, request that the information be “off the record” or a different agreement is reached with a writer or editor.
Letters to the Editor
The Tripod accepts letters to the editor from members of the Trinity and Hartford communities, including current students, faculty/staff, alumni and Hartford residents. While we also welcome contributions to our Opinion section, submitting a letter to the editor allows for a direct response to a Tripod article or policy, and helps in fostering conversation around topic published in the paper. Find our specific guidelines for letters to the editor on our policies page.
Letters to the editor should not exceed 800 words and, if approved, are published on our website. To submit a letter to the editor, please fill out this form.
Advertising Opportunities and Policies
The Tripod is pleased to offer advertisers an opportunity to place advertisements in our weekly print issues and on our website.
Advertisers can direct inquiries regarding rate adjustments, determined on a case-by-case basis, to our Editorial Board at tripod@trincoll.edu.
For the convenience of our advertisers, find our rate card here. On-campus organizations and non-profits may be eligible for reduced rates and should refer to the rate card for pricing or contact a Managing Editor with questions.
Business checks for advertisements should be made payable to The Trinity Tripod and cash will not be accepted.
