Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are all the opinions of the contributors and not necessarily the Cook County News-Herald.
While we encourage readers to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we ask that letters include name, address, and phone number. The Cook County News-Herald
may withhold a name to protect a letter writer, but will never run a letter without knowing the identity of the author. Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.
The Cook County News-Herald
also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words, however at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published. All letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.
Editor’s note:
In light of the numerous candidates (local, state, national) in the upcoming election, the Cook County
News-Herald
has established a policy regarding letters of endorsement for political candidates. Because of limited editorial space, if the News-Herald
receives letters with a repetitive theme, the News-
Herald
reserves the right to run one letter representative of similar letters.
