As a result, we have increased the amount of space for letters and enhanced our presentation of them. Every Saturday we publish a summary of the number of letters we received that week and list the topics that drew the most volume. The letters that run on the main Editorial page each day are selected by Assistant Editorial Page Editor Ken Western. The letters that run as part of the Arizona's Talking About . . . feature each Saturday on the Editorial page are selected by editorial writer Linda Valdez. We welcome letters that are provocative, constructive and timely.
Passion is good.
So is humor. We look for clarity, conciseness and a diversity of topics. We strive to be generally balanced on in our letters panels, but what you read is a representation of what we receive. Letters responding to letters are OK, but letters responding to letters responding to letters generally aren't. We do not publish unsigned letters.
