Open Forum Policy

The Reporter-herald invites readers to share their opinions.

Letters must be signed with a first and last name. We do not publish anonymous letters, poetry, letters signed with a pseudonym, open letters, letters addressed to a third party or letters promoting a particular business or personal matter.

We do not publish letters that are part of an organized effort to flood the newspaper with mail on a single topic. We do allow for an exchange between writers, but do not publish personal attacks. For purposes of verification, your address and daytime telephone number must be furnished, although we do not publish them. Letters longer than 300 words will be shortened or will not run. Letter writers will be limited to no more than one published letter in a seven-day period. The Reporter-herald accepts guest opinions of up to 700 words, with writers limited to no more than one submission published within a 14-day period.
