GUIDELINES FOR LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
-Be TIMELY: Write your letter about issues that have happened recently or, better yet, are happening currently. If you are addressing an article written in The Eagle Online or the print edition of The Eagle, the letter should be submitted as closely as possible to the publication date.
-INCLUDE CONTACT INFORMATION: You must provide your name and STH email address. Anonymous letters will not be printed or posted.
-BE CLEAR: Make one main point.
-BE CONCISE: 1- 3 paragraphs, 50-150 words. Short letters show confidence in your position.
-BE ACCURATE: Letters that are factually inaccurate are not printed.
-BE INTERESTING: Get your reader’s attention and keep it to the end of your letter. Open with an interesting fact or strong statement and keep your points as interesting as possible.
-AVOID PERSONAL ATTACKS: Show respect for the opposite opinion. Being rude may cause people to disagree with you on principle. No letters with inflammatory or inappropriate language will be considered.
-PROOFREAD: Re-read your letter. Check for grammar and spelling mistakes. If possible, ask another person to read your letter for accuracy and clarity.
