Writing a 'Letter to
the Editor'
Letters to the Editor need to be
relevant
.
Writing about a current issue or
writing in response to an article
or a printed letter means your letter will be
more likely to be published.
Some things to remember:
- know your subject
- believe that God has the answer to the issue BUT
don’t preach - discuss
- talk about a current issue
- be brief
- give your name
- respond quickly
Some more hints . .
.
* Keep your letter to UNDER 200 words.
* Don't drift
onto another topic.
* Use humour if appropriate.
* Send
your letter by email (links to letters editors are listed with the Newspaper links).
