Letter to the Editor Policy

The Courier welcomes the opinions of our readers in the form of letters to the editor, as long as submissions do not include:

• Profanity, vulgarity and/or obscenities
• Slurs and/or personal attacks
• Misinformation

The Courier reserves sole discretion to decide whether or not a reader submission will be published. The Courier will not publish anonymous submissions or letters containing personal attacks.  The Courier reserves the right to end debate on a topic after both sides have had the chance to express their views.  The Courier reserves the right to edit or refuse all letters.  The authors of such pieces are not members of the Courier staff, nor do they necessarily reflect the views of the Courier staff.

If a submission is selected, it will be run on a single occasion, and the author agrees to give us the right to publish it in print and digital form. The Courier will not accept letters that are duplicated, reprinted, copied or otherwise reproduced. Letters should not exceed 500 words. Letters exceeding this length could be subject to editing and may not be published in their entirety.
