Submit Your Letter to the Editor

The deadline for letters to the editor is noon Monday for publication in the following Thursday edition of the paper. All letters must be signed, and writers names will not be withheld except under special circumstances, at the discretion of the editor. 

Letters should include an address and daytime phone numbers, so we can contact you if we need to discuss your letter or verify your identity. The phone number and address will not be published.

Letters should be no longer than 300 words and focus on a single issue, avoiding personal attacks. 

No more than two letters every 30 days for any individual will be published. Submit through the website, or send them to news@wcmessenger.com, mail them to the editor, Wise County Messenger, P.O. Box 149, Decatur, TX 76234; or drop them by 115 S. Trinity in Decatur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday, or 9 a.m. to noon on Fridays. 

The Messenger is not obligated to run any letter, and letters are subject to editing for grammar and spelling, space, style or to remove potentially libelous statements. Third-party letters and letters published in other newspapers will not be accepted.
