Add your voice to the conversation by submitting a letter to the editor or My Turn to the Juneau Empire.<\/p>\n
Letters<\/a> should not exceed 250 words, and My Turns<\/a> are limited to 700. Submissions must include writer’s name, hometown, phone number and a sentence identifying their credentials, including any pertinent jobs or affiliations.<\/p>\n The Empire will edit submissions for length, clarity, grammar and libelous content. The newspaper does not run petitions, copies of letters sent or addressed to a third party or My Turns sent to other outlets. The Empire prints as many letters as possible, but is unable to print all of them.<\/p>\n Those that are printed represent the range of letters that are received.<\/p>\n The Empire only publishes one letter or My Turn a month per writer. This ensures that no one monopolizes a discussion. The Empire does not accept letters or My Turns from those actively running for public office.<\/p>\n The letters, My Turns, syndicated columns, cartoons and guest editorials do not represent the Empire’s views, but those of the writers, artists and newspapers that produced them.<\/p>\n
