SUBMITTING LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(03/02/2016)
We encourage opinion, comment, and discussion of meaningful issues, and advocate free expression.

Writers need to be responsible for their comments.

Readers should consider the content of letters as not always being fact.

We do encourage people with opposing views to submit letters.

The comments in letters to the editor do not necessarily reflect the opinions or positions maintained by The Hur Herald, nor will The Hur Herald be held accountable for their expression.

We discourage the use of profanity, name-calling, personal attacks and rumors.

No letter will be printed without validation of/or approval of the sender.

We will not publish forwarded blog comments or political statements that circulate on the Internet or have generally been published in print media.

The Herald reserves the right to limit the number of letters on a particular subject or issue.

Letters endorsing or being critical of a candidate for public office will not be printed within two weeks prior to an election.

The Herald reserves the right to edit letters for brevity. Writers should keep letters to 500 words or less.

The Herald reserves the right to refuse the publication of letters which the Editor considers in bad taste.

Please sign your letter with your name and your town, with a valid e-mail address or phone number.

Letters to the editor can be submitted by e-mail to bob@hurherald.com
