Before we jump into today's newsletter, we'd like to ask for your help. The Center for Cooperative Media launched the Covering COVID-19 pop-up newsletter in March as a vehicle to promote content-sharing and to alert NJ News Commons members about reporting and funding opportunities related to the pandemic. Now that it's been running for two months, we need to make sure it's still useful.

📰 NJ Spotlight content for republishing
|
|
|
Here are today's NJ Spotlight COVID-19 news stories, all of which are available for you to republish, as long as you follow the guidelines below. (Don't forget: this offer includes text only, not images.)

|
|
IMPORTANT: READ THESE RULES BEFORE YOU REPUBLISH ANYTHING
First, you must take the content as-is; no editing is permitted.
To republish, you can either:
- Publish the headline, byline (By Author's Name, NJ Spotlight) and the first three paragraphs — with a link back to the full story.
- Publish the headline, byline and full story, as long as it still links back to the original story, and it includes this required text at the beginning: This story was written and produced by NJ Spotlight. It is being republished under a special NJ News Commons content-sharing agreement related to COVID-19 coverage. To read more, visit njspotlight.com.
Remember, this is for text only. DO NOT use or republish any images from NJ Spotlight or NJTV.

📢 Spanish, Chinese + Korean translation
The Center is now offering weekly translations of COVID-19-related stories in Spanish, Chinese and Korean. We will translate NJ Spotlight stories from English into different languages, and we will translate in-language stories from key partners from Spanish, Chinese and Korean into English.
All translated stories, with permission from the Center’s news partners, are free for re-publication.
The Center’s ethnic media coordinator, Anthony Advincula, is leading this effort (advinculaa@montclair.edu). Please reach out to Anthony if you have any questions.
The translated copy will be in a shared Google Drive folder, with the date of original publication in the title of each Google Doc.
