The News and Sentinel enjoys letters to the editor and so do its readers. The letters section is one of the best-read parts of the paper. The general guidelines are that letters must pertain to the newspaper and its coverage area, and deal with matters of local and regional concern. In general, if it doesn't happen in our little corner of the world, we're not interested in it. Letters must be signed and include the sender's address and telephone numbers.
Letters arriving unsigned go straight into the trash.
Thank-you notes must be submitted as paid Cards of Thanks. Letters should be typed double-spaced or, if written by hand, be neat and legible. People and place names should be printed.
