Community \| Donate \| Learn \| Speak Out \| Volunteer \| Media Speak Out - Tips on Contacting the Media Below are tips on successful editorial letter writing and the names, addresses and email addresses of local newspapers. Include Your Contact Information Most newspapers will only print a letter to the editor after calling the author to verify his or her identity and address. Newspapers will not give out that information, and will usually only print your name and city should your letter be published. Be Clear and Concise Keep your letters brief, concise, and to the point. Newspaper editors often edit for length, so try to keep your letter to less than 250 words. State Your Point Early Be sure to state your main point in the subject line and in the first sentence of the letter. Keep to One Topic Keep your letters focused on one subject. Make it personal Tell your legislator why the issue matters to you and how it affects you, your family, and your community. Make a connection to the legislator. Did you vote for her? Did you contribute to the campaign?
