Letters to the Editor

Policy

Letters to the Editor should be legible and limited to 500 words. They should discuss issues and/or events. If you are critical of an issue, you should present constructive criticism, rather than defamatory statements about an individual or organization.

All letters must be signed by the author, including an address and phone number for verification or they will not be published.

Deadline for submissions is 3:00 p.m. on Mondays prior to that week's issue. (On weeks containing a holiday, such as Memorial Day or Labor Day, the deadline may be earlier. Call 309-329-2151 for more information.)

To e-mail a letter to the editor, send it to argus@kkspc.com and put LETTER in the subject line.

You can also snail-mail a Letter to the Editor to:

The Astoria South Fulton Argus
Attn: Editorial Dept.
P.O. Box 590
Astoria, IL 61501-0590

The Argus reserves the right to edit or reject any letter, and to limit the number of letters on any one topic.
