📌 Proposed Letters to the Editor Guidelines – Batesville Tribune

Editor’s Note:
The Batesville Tribune welcomes letters that focus on issues affecting Batesville and the surrounding region. Our goal is to foster respectful, diverse community dialogue.

✅ What we prioritize

• Letters discussing local news, policy, events, and concerns
• New viewpoints that haven’t been covered recently
• Civil and constructive commentary

🚫 We may decline letters that

• Repeat a topic already addressed extensively by recent letters
• Contain personal attacks, profanity, or accusations without proof
• Are part of an organized form-letter campaign
• Are primarily promotional or marketing in nature

📏 Submission guidelines

• 200–400 words (longer submissions may be edited for space and clarity)
• Include your full name, city, and a phone number for verification
• One submission per person per month (to avoid dominance by a single voice)
