Guidelines for Letters to the Editor

The Shoreline Area News welcomes Letters to the Editor.

These are the guidelines.

Letters should be fewer than 300 words.

Letters, unlike Comments, may not be submitted or published anonymously. The writers need to include their names, addresses, and phone numbers. However, only the name and city of residence will be published.

We will publish one letter per person per topic per month.

We expect civility.

We will allow ONE reply to anyone who has been challenged personally.

Letters should be sent to Editor@ShorelineAreaNews.com . Please be very clear whether your comments are intended for publication or are private communications to us.

All letters will appear on our website the day they are posted; in the emailed digest the following day; and permanently under the link Letters to the Editor in the right column of the website.

Comments posted to individual letters and comments on Facebook do not fall under these guidelines.

We appreciate your informed participation.

The Editorial Team
