A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
To the editor:
Congratulations to my fellow 2024 “Letter to the Editor” writers. Surveys reveal that reader letters are among the most widely read and popular sections of newspapers.
Most newspapers will print letters submitted by any writer regardless of where they live so long as the topic is relevant to readers.
Snappy introductions, a good hook, timeliness, precision, an interesting or different viewpoint all increase odds of publication. Papers welcome letters commenting on their own editorials, articles or previously published letters to the editor.
I'm grateful that The Chief affords both me and my fellow letter writers the opportunity to express our views, as well as our differing opinions on issues of the day.
Please join me along with your neighbors in reading The Chief. Patronize their advertisers; they provide the revenues necessary to keep them in business. This helps pay to provide space for your favorite — or not so favorite — letter writers.
Larry Penner
