Critical Mass Sydney - Letters hints This an old version of the Sydney Critical Mass Web Site. They usually have to be addressed to The Letters Editor to get there.
Letters are like a lottery.
There may be a number of letters arriving about the same topic just after a news event and, if yours is shortest, funniest, most representative of views of correspondents and most recent, you get in. So get your friends to write in too, to increase the chances of there being something in the paper on the topic of concern. Try to tie your letters to relevant news events or previous correspondence in the paper in the first sentence. An address helps too. Date the letter.
