We welcome your views

Letters: Letters to the editor are among the best-read features of The New Mexican. We do our best to get every opinion in the paper. It doesn’t have to agree with ours. In fact, the wider the variety of ideas on the Opinions page, the better our readers are served. We try to run them in their turn. They’re all edited — for language, spelling and length. To give all readers a chance to speak out, we limit letter submissions per individual to once a month. Please limit your letters to 150 words.

My Views: We are happy to consider publication of My Views, commentaries of up to 600 words, from writers who live within our reporting area.

Please include a sentence about yourself for the tagline. We also encourage writers to include a photo of themselves.

All copy is subject to editing for length, grammar, spelling, language and obvious errors. We do not return edited copy for writer’s approval. However, we try to respect the writer’s voice and edit as lightly as possible. We cannot guarantee a publication date.

Please note: There’s a three-month waiting period between the publication of a My View and submission of another one.

Please include your name, address and telephone numbers on your letter or My View so we can verify that you wrote it. We keep numbers and addresses confidential. Email letters and My Views to: letters@sfnewmexican.com.
