Letters to the Editor: Having Your Say
Writing a letter to your newspaper's editor is a time-honored American tradition, giving you the opportunity to influence public opinion constructively. You don’t need to be an expert on the topic, but your contribution can spark meaningful discussions. Here are some tips to help you get your letter published:
1. Be Concise.
Most newspapers and online publications have word limits?"typically around 200 words, although some allow up to 300. If you find these constraints too limiting, consider submitting an op-ed instead.
2. Avoid Libel.
While you can express criticism, it’s crucial to avoid libel. Letters containing defamatory content won’t be published. Remember, free speech has boundaries.
3. Use Your Own Voice.
Editorial teams can easily spot plagiarism. Speak from your heart and only quote others if directly responding to a specific article or letter.
4. Exercise Good Taste.
Opinions vary greatly on what is tasteful. Tailor your language to ensure your letter aligns with publication standards and increases the chance of being published.
Compliance with submission guidelines is essential if you want your letter to appear in print. You’ll generally need to provide your name, address, city, and phone number. Some publications offer the option to remain anonymous with a "Name Withheld by Request" tag, but others require full disclosure. Be mindful of how your words might resonate in the future.
By following these tips, you can effectively share your perspective while respecting the editorial process.
