Views & Letters To The Editor Policy
We welcome all readers to contribute to our Views page and submit Letters-to-the-Editor, but we ask you follow the rules:
• All letters must be signed by the author along with a residential address and contact information (phone number or e-mail) to verify identity.
• Names may be withheld from a letter at the editor’s discretion and only if including the name could cause harm or other consequences to the author.
• Letters should be concise and to the point. Letters should be limited to 750 words. The editor has the right to publish longer letters chosen on interest, history, merit and/or relevance.
• No letters will be printed that are not in good taste, are defamatory or libelous.
• Letter authors are required to provide documentation that proves or gives credence to the facts and figures used in a letter. The editor will verify that claims are correct before the letter can be published.
• Authors are allowed to write on a particular subject once per calendar month unless the editor allows additional letters.
• We do not publish letters of thanks or poetry unless determined meritorious for publication by the editor.
• No mass-mailed letters or letters from outside the readership area will be printed.
Political Letters-to-the-Editor and Candidacy Releases
