Letters to the Editors

Letters to local and statewide papers are an effective way to get your message heard by decision makers while also informing other Alaskans about the issue.  Personalizing your story will make it more compelling.

 

Be sure to include your full name, affiliation (if any), hometown and a contact phone number where you can be reached days following the submittal.  We suggest calling the editor(s) to make sure it gets in print.
