ALERT: New Ashland Daily Tidings Letters policy: The editors of the Ashland Daily Tidings have decided to limit letters in that paper to residents of Ashland and the surrounding area, including Talent, unless the letter is addressing a specifically Ashland topic, such as the redesign of the Plaza. Your letters, of course, are welcome in the Tribune, which circulates throughout the county. But the editors have judged that the climate change issue is more than adequately represented in letters from Ashland residents. This editorial policy goal is to encourage a robust debate in the Ashland community among readers of the Tidings.

Since the Tribune has the lowest LTE word limit, it would simplifying life to target that length and send to the others. But the adventurous author can always augment from the Tribune length to embellish points for the other targets having longer limits.

In terms of Op-ed policy The Tribune is more restrictive – local authors should focus on local issues; The Ashland Daily Tidings accepts Op-eds from local folks on broader issues. Same addresses for the targets works for both LTEs and Op-eds.  The Guest Column / Op Ed limit is 750 words for both the ADT and MMT. Those wishing to submit Guest Columns to the Medford Mail Tribune or Ashland Daily Tidings are advised to contact Editorial page editor, Gary Nelson, first to establish that there is interest in the column.
