A letter from the editor…
The editorial page of a newspaper is not about news. It is about personal views and the freedom to share them responsibly.
Letters printed in The Castle Pines Connection do not reflect in any way the personal views and/or opinions of The Castle Pines Connection, LLC, its newspaper editor/publisher, or its staff.
Thus far, process for selecting which editorials to print in the paper has been quite simple: Every editorial submitted has been published.
The editorial guidelines limit submissions to 300 words; however longer letters have been published, depending upon space availability. Lengthy editorials are printed in their entirety on our website.
As participation in our editorial page increases and the number of letters we receive grows, stricter adherence to these policies will be observed. Until then, we’ll continue to include what space allows.
Editorials submitted should be true, accurate, fair, balanced, and relevant to our readers. Letters may be posted in the Editorial section of our website (www.castlepinesconnection.com), or printed in the bimonthly – soon to be monthly – newspaper.
Content of editorials should display evidence of being guided by ethical values of care, compassion, community and civility.
No anonymous letters will be printed in The Castle Pines Connection. All editorial submissions must include your name, address, neighborhood, phone number, and e-mail contact. Only names and neighborhoods will be published.
Not comfortable submitting your views in writing but still want to share your thoughts? Call me at 303-918-3676. I am happy to talk with you.
