Letters to the Editor Policy

Letters to the Editor Policy
 

  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to letters@harvardpress.net or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.
  • We will not print anonymous letters, form letters, blanket-mail letters, or letters that we consider libelous.
  • We will not print more than one letter from the same person in any given week.
  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

A new website for the Climate Initiative Committee

The Harvard Climate Initiative Committee (HCIC) team is excited to unveil its redesigned and improved website, harvardmaclimateinitiative.org. 

The new site, designed by webmaster Patrick Vallaeys and HCIC, is tailored for an enhanced user experience. In addition to news, events, our initiatives, resources, and more, enjoy our interactive platform “HarvardEnergize.” It is now easier to access and use. This platform provides step-by-step instructions on numerous actions you can take to lower your carbon footprint as we strive to curtail global warming.

Whether or not you are already familiar with our volunteer activities in Harvard, please take a moment to visit our new site. We hope you will find it to be an extremely useful and informative experience.  Please visit the site often to stay up to date on upcoming events and things of interest.

On Sept. 14 from 3 to 5 p.m. we will host an EV and Electric Tool Petting Zoo at the Lions Club Fall Festival at the Harvard Public Library. Please stop by to meet neighbors and learn from their experiences.
