Letters Policy
The Courier welcomes letters to the editor, but it also wishes to give all readers a chance to comment and to keep letters focused on issues of widespread public interest. In that spirit, the Courier will publish letters no longer than 300 words, and reserves the right to edit them for length, grammar, legal issues, clarity and taste. To allow everyone fair access to the column, an individual letter writer may publish only one letter in any 30-day period. People with special insight, expertise or knowledge may submit “Talk of the Town” essays which are subject to all the same rules as letters but with a 750-word limit. The Courier prefers that letter writers submit their letters by e-mail, but will accept letters which are typewritten double-spaced and within the word limit by regular mail. E-mail letters should go to editorial@prescottaz.com. Writers can send typed or printed-out letters to “Readers speak” at 1958 Commerce Center Circle, Prescott, AZ 86301. Readers also may submit letters via FAX at 928-445-2062. However they submit them, writers must include their names, street addresses and phone numbers to allow The Courier to verify authorship. Under no circumstances will The Courier publish unsigned letters.
