Letters to the Editor
Tips for getting your letter published:
• Keep your letter brief; the shorter, the better. Most letters are edited for clarity and length.
One-hundred or fewer words stands
the best chance of being published;
200 words should be your maximum.
• Include your name, address
and daytime phone number. *
We do not publish unsigned letters.
• We prefer to have letters submitted in typed or electronically transmitted form.
However, we will accept handwritten letters, providing the handwriting is legible.
• Choose your words carefully.
Letters that contain libelous or slanderous
statements will be edited or rejected.
• Do not send us copies of other people’s work.
• Do not write again immediately
after a letter is published.
We won’t consider your next letter
for at least 30 days.
• We won’t publish political endorsements.
• We won’t publish obvious organized attempts to flood us with mail on a given topic.
• We won’t publish form letters, anonymous letters or letters we receive that don’t include an address and phone number.
(We will not publish phone numbers
or addresses - we simply need these for confirmation and clarification purposes.)
