Letters to the Editor Policy

Letters to the Editor Policy

The Lincoln Sentinel-Republican welcomes and encourages the submission of letters to the editor. However, editing privileges are reserved on any items submitted.

Items will be edited for length as space allows. Grammar and spelling corrections will be made and rewriting may take place.

Libelous material is never allowed. An item containing information which could be construed as libel will not be printed.

Letters to the editor are reserved for individual comment on a subject and should follow these general guidelines:

* Letters should not be more than 350 words in length. The shorter the letter, the more likely it will be read.

* Letters must be signed and include address. Phone numbers are also advised in case something needs to be checked or verified.

The Sentinel will not honor requests to withhold names.
