Our letter policy

Letters to the Editor are important - it's a Laguna Forum

Letters to the Editor have been a community right in Laguna Beach for a long time and this paper will provide space to all who wish to express their opinions on just about any subject - whether it deals with a local issue or not. If we do have a space limitation, letters not on a local subject will be the first to be held back or displayed in their entirety on our web site.

We ask that you keep letters as brief as possible (500 words or less will be reader friendly) and we promise we'll only edit when we feel it to be necessary.

We won't publish letters about a local business - negative or positive - and we will not publish personal attacks on anyone that is not a public figure. We may see it necessary in the latter case to look into such letters before publishing.

The letter writer's signature, (an email address will suffice) printed name, street address and phone number must be included - published letters will only use the writer's name and city. Letters must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday although we will try to publish late-arriving letters where possible.

E-mail letters are preferred. If not, computer generated or typed letters are welcome. We may not always be able to type a handwritten letter - but we'll try.
