The Lion India Magazine is dedicated to promoting the ‘We Serve’ philosophy that Lions around the world demonstrate every day.

We want to publicize your humanitarian acts. For this we need your cooperation.

Because we rely on the districts to keep us informed of their service activities, the following guidelines are intended to help you prepare materials for submission to the magazine.

Please understand that we cannot publish all the articles and photographs we receive. We simply do not have space to print everything. However, the more thoroughly prepared and thoughtfully illustrated your article is, the better the chance it will be selected for publication.

Our vision is to see that this magazine is one which we can present to non Lions, industrialists, political leaders and community leaders - a magazine which truly showcases the great job that Lions clubs of India are doing.

This new look magazine requires fresh inputs from each one of you.

  • Send us reports of the activities in your district accompanied with photographs. Make sure that your article explains in detail the successful completion of a service project, fund raising activity or a programme undertaken for membership growth.

  • Remember, we do not publish accounts of a club’s social activities such as installations, charter anniversaries and other celebrations.

  • Your story does not have to be a polished product. Our editorial staff will be happy to write the article if you send us complete information.

  • The length of your story is not important as long as you cover basic facts :

      • What the project was all about

      • Who was involved and who benefited

      • When and where it took place

      • How it happened

By describing how your clubs have helped the community you will aid ‘The Lion’ India magazine in meeting its primary goal to help stimulate others to perform humanitarian services.

 
 What Makes a Good Photograph?
 

  • A story through a photograph is more interesting that one with only words. Make sure the pictures you send are candid and show the action taking place.
  • Simplicity is the key to good photographs.
  • Too many people and too much background clutter the scene.
  • Focus on what is happening and get close to the action.
  • Do not focus on individuals.
  • We do not print photographs of cheque presentations or people shaking hands, instead we’d much rather see someone using the new equipment your club helped purchase.
  • Make sure the photographs are sharp, clear, glossy coloured prints.
  • Preferably the caption information should be taped on the back of the photographs.
  • Do not staple or write on the photographs.
  • We do accept digital photographs send via e-mail. We are unable to use photographs that are within a word.doc or PDF file. Because of the high quality necessary for publication, the image must be at least 300 dpi and be saved as a ‘jpg’ or ‘tif’ file.
 
 How Do We Want Your Story?
 

Please type out your article and proof read it for errors. Include the mailing address and the e-mail ID of the person submitting the story.

 
 How to Send the Story?
 

We only publish articles received from the District Governors through the Associate Editors designated for the district. We do not accept material sent by the clubs directly.

 
 When to send your contribution?
 

The magazine has a two month lead time. In April for example we are already working for the June issue. Articles should reach the Associate Editors by the 5th of every month. They will then forward it to ‘The Lion’ India magazine by the 10th.
