The photo that is shown the events and news widget is almost a perfect square. Keep that in mind when adding a photo. The photo will focus on what is in the center. Uploaded photos can be a traditional landscape or vertical photo at traditional 4:3 ratio OR a square.
Reminders:
A larger, original photo is typically the best choice, (barring that the photo is not 4000+ pixels wide) <2000 pixels is a good choice.
A full photograph at 4:3 is almost always fine, just note that the image will focus on the middle 2/3. Square photos will work too.
Avoid over cropping and uploading a long, narrow, cropped image or tall skinny image.
Make sure there is headroom when taking a photograph. The image editor will look for the center.
Avoid adding overlaid text to an image accompanying an event or story. Stick with a simple photograph or simple graphic…. AVOID uploading a flyer or tv monitor slide.
If you are uploading a simple logo, look for a logo variation that is stacked rather than long. Often companies create 2 versions of logos. See example:
