To place a news brief in Focus EMU, please submit the information by noon on Wednesdays to ensure that it appears in the following Tuesday's edition of Focus EMU. In the event that more news briefs are submitted than space allows, the Focus EMU editor will make the determination, based on news value, which briefs will appear. Briefs that do not appear in Focus EMU will be placed on EMU Today.
