Letter: ​Why you should write letters to the editor

Tyler Fleming

Opinion editor Tyler Fleming

FROM AN EDITOR:

I love letters to the editor. As an assistant editor last year, I always enjoyed reading them and seeing people engage with our writings.

During my time on the opinion page, I have done everything (including an awful cartoon) on this page — except for letters.

I want to encourage anyone, regardless of opinion, to write a letter. In all honesty, I am asking you to hold myself and the rest of this staff accountable.

If you disagree with something we wrote or an editing choice, let me and other readers know.

One tip: We do go through every letter and verify proper nouns and factual statements. So, please attach links in your letter to help us out.

We appreciate all of our readers and letter writers. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
