WHEN:
Day, date
and time of the event. SanTan Sun News format is to use the “to and from”
time first, following the day and date. SanTan Sun abbreviates the day of
the week following by a period and comma, then abbreviates the month. For
times within the morning or evening, you can use 9 to 11 a.m. or 7 to 9
p.m. For hours that go across morning and afternoon or evening, use this
style: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., using periods between the a.m. and p.m. If the
time is on the hour, you do not have to use :00 (ex: 1 to 3 p.m.;) Only
use the minutes when it’s something between :01 and :59, (ex 9:30 a.m.).
If it’s noon or midnight, write “9 to noon” or “10 to midnight.”
