Today, write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Comment on an article or column that was recently in the newspaper, thank someone publicly, make a request...but write and mail that letter! Be sure to check with the newspaper to see what their Letter to the Editor guidelines are. Some newspapers limit the number of words or pages you can submit, and others require certain information, such as your name, address and phone number. Those guidelines might be printed in the newspaper or posted online.

As a journalist on a newspaper in a small town, I must say how much we appreciated getting Letters to the Editor. Whether the comments are good, bad or otherwise, it's always interesting to hear what concerns those in our local community.
It's especially nice to get an appreciative comment for a story you wrote. This happens so rarely! Maybe even write in to say how much you value and appreciate your local paper...
