Letters to Editor

1/9/02

EDITOR:

Letters to the editor of The True Citizen are welcomed and encouraged. These are pages of opinion, yours and ours.

 The unsigned editorials generally appearing on the left side of the editorial page represent the opinion of the newspaper and not that of any one person on our staff. Personal columns represent the opinions of the writers whose names appear on them and are not to be considered the opinion of this newspaper, its management or owners. Letters to the editor voice the opinions of the newspaper's readers.

OUR LETTERS POLICY:

• “Letters to the Editor” will be limited to 400 words per letter.
• “Letters to the Editor” column will no be used to fight personal battles, political or otherwise, and we reserve the right to cut off continuous letters on the same subject.
• The True Citizen reserves the right to edit any and all portions of a letter, but we prefer not to do this and except for changing misspelled words, have not done so.
• We prefer that all letters be typewritten and double spaced, but realize not everyone has access to a typewriter or a computer. Neatly printed or handwritten letters will be acceptable if they are legible.
• All letters must be signed and contain the address and telephone number of the letter writer. This is important to assure that, if necessary, our staff can authenticate its origin.
• Some newspapers limit the number of times a letter writer can submit their views on a particular subject. The True Citizen has not done this and, at this time, does not plan to initiate such a policy.
