Letters to the Editor
|
You are encouraged to write letters to the editor and share your opinion with your fellow Santa Cruz County residents.
Some tips for writing letters to the editor-
- Short letters are best (150-250 words)
- Keep it simple and on target; keep focus with a brief introduction, your opinion and a closing (if needed)
- Use proper grammar and punctuation
- Remember, letters can be edited for newspaper space/discretion
- Do not ramble or focus on more than one topic per letter
- Avoid technical jargon
- Write in conversational prose, be courteous and be organized
- Write on a current topic (2-3 days old)
- Use facts and figures when needed to support your claim/opinion
- Letters should be type written and preferably emailed
- Always include your name, address and telephone number for verification purposes only
The Santa Cruz Sentinel uses an online form on their website for submitted letters. The letter form can be found here.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel also has an on-line forum for posting opinions and reading opinions of other locals. You have to make yourself an account and login to post. All posts can be read without an account. The forum can be found here.
