Letter Policy

Letters Policy

The Call welcomes letters to the editor.

Typed letters of 200 words or less are given priority. Preference is given to local letters, but letters from outside the circulation area are welcome.

The Call will not publish more than one letter from the same author in any 30-day period. Letters must be marked “exclusively for the Call.” Letters must be signed and include the telephone number of the author. Telephone numbers will not be printed; authors will be called for verification.

The Call reserves the right to edit letters to conform with newspaper style, punctuation and grammar. Letters containing li-bel will be edited to delete the libel or not used. The letter’s tone or intention will not be changed. To participate, send your letters to: Editor, Call Newspapers, 9977 Lin Ferry Drive, St. Louis, Mo. 63123.

Letters to the editor also can be sent by e-mail to news@callnewspapers.com.

Letter Policy

Newspaper welcomes letters to the editor

We encourage readers to write us.

Our Opinions page expresses both the Call’s viewpoints and our readers’ viewpoints.

We don’t expect readers to always agree with our positions on the issues of the day – something would be terribly wrong if they did. And, in fact, we welcome letters taking views opposite of the newspaper’s because the purpose of our Opinions page is to serve as a community forum, promoting a discussion – pro and con – on what-ever issues affect our readers.

With that said, there are a few ground rules: For example, we prefer letters of 200 words or less. This is not a hard-and-fast rule. Because of space considerations, through, the shorter your letter, the better the chances are that it will be published.

Each letter written to us must be signed and include the author’s telephone number and address. We call the author of every letter to verify the author’s identity. We will not publish nor give out the author’s telephone number and address.

We also require that readers mark their letters “written exclusively for the Call.” Because our space is so limited, we prefer not to duplicate the efforts of other newspapers. We prefer to offer our readers a fresh perspective on community issues.

We also will not publish more than one letter from a single author in any 30-day period. The demand for space is so great it would be unfair to let a single author monopolize it.

To participate, send your letters to: Editor, Call Newspapers, 9977 Lin Ferry Drive, St. Louis, Mo. 63123.

Letters to the editor also can be sent by e-mail to news@callnewspapers.com.
