Letters policy
The Cooperstown Crier welcomes letters of public interest from readers and makes every effort to provide a lively forum for a variety of opinions. Letters should be no more than 300 words. There is a minimum 30-day period between publication of letters from the same author.
Letters to the editor will be considered for publication by Cooperstown Crier editors based on community interest, topicality and variety of subject matter. Letters that are libelous, too narrow in focus or that make unverifiable accusations of behavior will not be published. Letters may be edited for grammar and punctuation. If aware of instances of organized letter-writing campaigns, the editors will choose a limited representative number of letters to be published. Form letters will not knowingly be published.
Letters must be signed and contain the writer's full name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Letters can be e-mailed to crier@csdsl.net submitted through this form, faxed to 607-547-1109, mailed to The Cooperstown Crier, PO Box 1046, Cooperstown, NY 13326, or delivered to The Cooperstown Crier office at 21 Railroad Ave in Cooperstown.
