Letter to the Editor

The Opinion Page of the Northwest Arkansas Times is designed to be a comunity forum for opinions and ideas. We encourage our readers to voice their opinions through letters to the editor, with a few guidelines:

Letters should be 500 words or less.

They will be edited for potential libel, clarity, and availability of space.

Letters from our local readers on all issues will have priority. Letters from writers outside our circulation area that address local issues will also be published.

Letters must be signed with a complete address and daytime phone number. Authors are gnerally limited to one letter per calendar month.

Letters should be written 'to the editor.' Open letters addressed to others are discouraged.

Anonymous letters will not be published.

Letters regarding an upcoming election must be submitted by the Wednesday preceding the election, and will be published no later than the Sunday before the election.

Letters may be sent to the Editor, P.O. Box 1607, Fayetteville, AR 72701, emailed to letters@nwarktimes.com, or you may fill out and submit the form below.

Letters and columnists do not represent the views of the newspaper. The newspaper's positions are presented in editorials so marked and are determined by the Times editorial board of Publisher Jeff Jeffus, Executive Editor Greg Harton, Managing Editor Christie Swanson, and Editorial Page Editor Scott Shackleford.
