Letters policy change
My co-workers and I have decided to change one of our policies involving election commentary: From here forward we’ll post those letters on the blog.
But we started to wonder whether a rich discussion was being missed by our excluding these letters. And, to be honest, we also found ourselves spending too much time trying to decide what constitutes an “election letter” (which by definition endorses or opposes a candidate or a ballot initiative) and what doesn’t.
We also had been reluctant to post these letters in the past because we wondered whether you would behave and keep the comments clean, factual and civil.
By and large, we believe you will.
At least we hope so.
Due to recent automated spamming attacks on our blogs, we are temporarily requiring commenters to authenticate themselves via TypeKey® before posting comments to any News & Record blog in order to prevent denials of service. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
