Tuesday, Nov. 8, is the day of the general election, and it’s rapidly approaching, and to many newspapers, including this one, it’s the season of political letters to editor.
We at the Newsleaders welcome political letters to the editor, as long as they adhere to the following requirements:
- Each letter must be 250 words or less. Each must be signed with the name of the writer, the person’s hometown and the person’s phone number. (We need the phone number because each letter must be checked by news staff to ensure its legitimacy.)
- When writing political letters, avoid personal attacks. Instead, try to stick to the issues and why, say, “Candidate A” would be better in office than “Candidate B.”
Political letters to the editor will also be published on the Newsleaders’ website: www.thenewsleaders.com
The last date on which political letters can be published is our Friday, Oct. 28 issue.
