Category: Letters to the Editor
Submissions are limited to one letter per person per issue. We do not publish letters from people living outside of this newspaper’s coverage area.
Letters should be 250 words or less. Letters over the word limit will be cut at the editor’s discretion. All letters are subject to editing for style, mechanics and grammar.
Letters containing language or content that is blatantly offensive, or that the editor feels is inappropriate, will not be published.
Letters are printed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed to run in any specific edition of the paper.
Letters should focus on the opinion/s of the writer, not facts. Any statement of facts not generally known or accepted to be true will be removed.
All letters must be signed by the writer, with address and phone number provided for verification only. Letters will be printed with the author’s name and title or affiliation only. Anonymous letters will not be published.
Letters that contain statements that are libelous or slanderous will not be published, nor will letters that include personal attacks.
Thank-you letters may name no more than 15 individuals and 10 businesses.
Letters written in response to other letter writers should address the issue at hand, rather than mentioning the writer by name, and should refer to the headline and date the letter was published.
Letters referring to news stories should also mention the headline and date of publication.
Deadline for letters is Monday by 5 p.m. on the week you’d like it to run.
All questions regarding letters to the editor should be directed to Editor Rashah McChesney, [email protected]
