Letters to the Editor

We welcome your letters.  Please know we follow the policy below.  Send your letters to [email protected]

It is the policy of the AWHS Pitch to encourage reader participation on its editorial page. Diverse and varied opinions are welcomed. Because of space limitations, we must limit all contributors to one letter per person per month. Letters of 600 words or less will be published unless they contain language or content that the editors feel is inappropriate.

Examples of content that will cause letters to be rejected include the following:
• Confusing or unclear points.
• Crude language.
• Poor taste.
• Disrespectful comments regarding a group’s or individual’s ethnicity, gender, religion, culture, sexual orientation or race.
• Other incendiary language or remarks.
• Endorsements for or complaints about individually named commercial products or services.
• Poetry.
• Personal tributes, attacks or thank yous.

The AWHS Pitch will not knowingly publish factually incorrect information. If the letter includes links to sources (verifiable) that will help us clarify the factuality of the letter.

Only letters written exclusively to AWHS Pitch will be published. Letters to a third party or those written to more than one outlet are not accepted.

Letters written in response to other letter writers should address the issue at hand and, rather than mentioning the writer by name, should refer to the headline and date the letter was published. Discourse should be civil and people should be referred to in a respectful manner. Letters referring to news stories should also mention the headline and date of publication.

All letters must be signed and include the writer’s street address and telephone number, which will be used for verification purposes only.
