Write a Letter to the Editor
Hundreds of thousands of people read editorials, and so it is important to sound
eloquent, intelligent and clear with your message. In most cases, you will need to
send your name, address and phone number for verification, and most editorials
should be no more than 200-400 words. It's great to use this as a working-meeting
project- have everyone write letters and then send them off to the local media.
See the information on the following pages to write to a newspaper near you!
