Policy
The Steamboat Pilot & Today accepts letters to the editor that are 250 words or less. Letters must include the author’s name, hometown, affiliation (if any) and phone number (for verification purposes only).
The decision to print any submission is at the discretion of the Steamboat Pilot & Today publisher and editors. Form letters and letters considered libelous, obscene or in bad taste will not be printed, nor will letters containing personal attacks. Claims made in submissions must be supported by facts and must cite credible sources as needed. Frequent writers are typically limited to having one letter per month to keep the conversation fresh. There is also an emphasis on keeping the focus in the commentary section on local issues. Publication is based on space within the newspaper, due to this, we cannot guarantee publication of the letter or specific publication dates.
