Letters to the Editor Policy

All letters should be no more than 500 words in length, and should include the writer's name, address and phone number.

We will not publish street address, email address or phone number.

Please avoid handwritten letters if at all possible.

The editor reserves the right to reject letters or edit for clarity, brevity, good taste and accuracy, and to prevent libel. No poetry, attacks on private individuals, or letter-writing campaigns, please. Due to the volume of mail, writers are asked to limit submissions to one letter every 30 days. + The Community Journal reserves the right to refuse or hold any submission. + All submissions become the property of The Community Journal and cannot be returned. + Opinions expressed in letters or columns, as well as any other opinion piece are solely the opinion of that author and not necessarily the opinion of the staff or editors of The Community Journal. + Publication of an opinion does not imply an endorsement by The Community Journal. + Anonymous Letters to the Editor will be automatically rejected.
