How do I submit a letter to the editor?

You can email your letter to [email protected], or send it to P.O. Box 111, Deer Lodge, MT 59722, or drop it by at our office at 515 Main St. in Deer Lodge. 

Some guidelines:
Sign the letter, we do not print anonymous ones. We also need an address and a phone number (they will not be used in the newspaper) in order to be able to get in touch with you in case we have any questions about your submission.
If a letter is libelous, it won't be printed. Media law dictates that if we print your letter, we are liable for the insults and defaming statements you make if they are not considered fair comment.
Make it as short and concise as possible, and under 400 words. We reserve the right to edit what we consider overly long letters.
We don't consider thank-you notes appropriate for the Opinion page, since we want to have a discussion of issues on the editorial pages. We'd prefer that you thank people in person or with a personal note, or run an ad if you think it's important that they receive public thanks.
We consider letters from political candidates to be political advertisements, and therefore any letters submitted as such will be quoted a price for the message to run as a display ad rather than in our letters to the editor section.

What information do you want for a news story?
News writing relies on who, what, when, where, how and why. We need full names of people involved (we don't use first-name-only), telephone numbers for further information, and specific times and places.

If you have questions, please contact our news staff at [email protected].
