Letter to the Editor policy

The Davenport Times publishes letters to the editor of civic nature relating to area, state and national issues and politics. Letters should be limited to 250 words, and cited facts should be attributed to the source of information.

Letters may not contain personal attacks, profanity or cite other media. Please keep letters to a single subject. We do not publish “thank you” letters; contact our advertising staff.

Writers will be limited to one letter per month. No chain letters — either written by one person and signed by more than one, or one signed letter emailed to multiple publications.

All letters must be signed and have complete contact information, including name, telephone number, address and hometown. Letters relating to campaigns and ballot measures will not be printed the week prior to any election.

Letters should be emailed to davenporttimes@centurytel.net. Hand-written letters may be dropped off at our office at 1150 Morgan St., Davenport, or mailed to P.O. Box 66, Davenport, WA 99122.
