Letter to the Editor Submission Form

This form can be used to submit a Letter to the Editor for publication in the Canby Herald Newspaper.

Letter submission guidelines

  • Letters can be up to 300 words long. The purpose of Point of View columns is to consider an issue in greater depth. These should be 500-600 words long, but can be up to 800 words if the issue warrants it. Point of View columns are due noon Thursday; letters are due noon Friday. E-mailed letters and POVs are always preferred.
  • For verification, authors must include their full name, street address, daytime telephone, and e-mail address. Only the name and town will be printed. No anonymous letters will be printed.
  • Submissions deemed libelous, obscene or in bad taste will not be printed. Likewise, submissions airing personal grievances against businesses and individuals will not be accepted.
  • To allow a variety of viewpoints, individual writers are limited to one opinion published per four-week period. Only letters written by local residents, or those that have a direct bearing on our community, will be printed.
  • You do not have to bring letters into the office. We encourage you to e-mail them.
  • All letters are printed at the discretion of the Canby Herald.
