We welcome letters to the editor.
Submissions must follow these guidelines:
- Letters must be no more than 300 words.
- Please submit the letter in the main body of the email (no attachments). Attachments will not be read.
- Please include your full name, email and phone number (these will not all be published, only your name). Anonymous letters or letters under pseudonyms will not be considered.
- If responding to an article published in the Manitoban, please include the headline and publication date of the article. We give priority to letters responding to material published by the newspaper.
- Letters must be sent to letters@themanitoban.com. They will not be considered otherwise.
- Submissions must include sources for all facts referred to in the letter.
Please note the following:
- Letters will be fact-checked.
- We reserve the right to adjust letters and their titles slightly for clarity, brevity and typos (with approval of the submitter).
- There is no guarantee that the letter will be reviewed and/or published due to limited resources (however, we are more likely to review the letter if it follows the word count limit and offers a new perspective or depth to an issue).
- Submissions that include sources will be prioritized for review.
- If after 7-10 days you have not heard back, please assume the letter will not be published.
If you are interested in submitting a comment article on a new topic, please email our Comment Editor at comment@themanitoban.com.
