The Sylva Herald welcomes letters about articles, editorials and columns in this newspaper. Letters should be issue-oriented and address concerns of the community as a whole. Individual complaint letters will not be published.
Letters should be concise and to the point and absolutely no longer than 750 words. We will publish up to 15 letters a year from individual letter writers, but because of space limitations, we can publish no more than two letters from a given writer during any calendar month.
We require letters to be signed and contain the address and a daytime telephone number (not for publication; for clarification if necessary) of the writer.
The Sylva Herald reserves the right to reject or edit letters that are libelous or in poor taste; to edit all letters for length and grammar; and to refuse letters previously printed in other area newspapers. The Sylva Herald will not knowingly publish factually incorrect information.
Examples of content that will cause letters to be rejected include:
– Confusing or unclear points.
– Endorsements for or complaints about specific local businesses or professionals.
– Poetry.
– Personal tributes, attacks or thank yous.
Letters may be sent via e-mail to news@thesylvaherald.com or dropped by the newspaper’s Main Street office or mailed to P.O. Box 307, Sylva, N.C. 28779.
