Perspectives Policy

Submissions in each of the following categories may be published at the discretion of the Communications and Technical Director.

Letters to the Editor: Maximum number of words: 250.

Letters should be typed and delivered to LW Weekly by email (preferred), regular mail or handdelivered and placed in the letter slot of the staff entrance of the LW News Office (adjacent to the Amphitheater). The office is closed to the public but staffers are working inside.

Letters must be of general interest to the community and may contain opinions, suggestions, compliments and complaints without being scurrilous, libelous, defamatory, repetitive or otherwise inappropriate. The names of individual employees, titles and/or departments will not be permitted in letters that could adversely impact any Foundation employee directly or indirectly.

Member Column: At a maximum 500 words, columns may present an argument, opinion or information about pending issues of concern to the community.

Priority is given to first-time or less frequent writers.

Some names will be left out to protect privacy.

Contributor: Restaurant review, theater review or travel journal submissions welcome.
