The Global City challenges us to examine where the Dallas-Fort Worth region is headed in the 21st Century and to decide where we want it to go. Letters are selected for publication based on their clarity and brevity. They also are chosen to represent a diverse set of views on as many issues as possible. Due to the volume of mail, it isn't possible to print all of the letters received. To give an opportunity to the greatest number of writers, no individual's work will be published more than once every 30 days.
Some letters appear in condensed form.
If possible, letters should be kept to under 250 words. We require the writer's name and city to be published with each letter chosen. We do not withhold names or allow the use of initials or pseudonyms. We also require telephone numbers so we can contact writers for clarification or confirmation. We do not publish form letters, poetry, letters written to other publications or letters directed to individuals.
