Stabroek News reminds writers that letters for publication should carry a valid name, full address (street or village names alone are not accepted) and a phone number where they can be contacted. In the case of letters which come in hard copy, we ask for a signature. Where e-mailed correspondence is concerned, we may request additional validation of identity. We will withhold a name on request, but we do not like to publish pseudonyms.
We will not usually carry a letter which has already appeared in another newspaper, neither will we normally publish anything which is unduly lengthy.
We routinely edit for libel, grammar, prolixity, coherence, repetition, etc.
