Letters to the Editor:

 

The maximum length of a letter to the editor should be no more than 300 words. The Juneau Independent may edit letters for length and clarity. You must provide your full name and residency. Submit letters to editor@juneauindependent.com or mail to 130 Seward St., Ste. 509, Juneau, AK 99801.

 

We will not print anonymous letters, nor print material that is potentially libelous, discriminatory, obscene, threatening, copyrighted, or promotional. We will not knowingly print letters that contain provable falsehoods and misinformation. We will not knowingly publish form letters or submissions with AI content. Letters referencing political candidates or other election matters will be subject to additional scrutiny, particularly regarding factual claims made in favor of a candidate or against their opponents. The author must also disclose any official associations with candidates and political organizations. We do not print letters that endorse products. If you want to promote a for-profit product, please contact ads@juneauindependent.com for our advertising rates. 

 

Voices:

 

The maximum length for a Voices opinion piece is about 1,000 words. It must reflect the opinion of an individual with expertise in the subject. Voices submitted on behalf of political parties, PACS and corporations for or against political candidates or ballot measures are considered advertisements. Submissions by Juneau residents that have not been sent to any other publication will receive priority.

​

We also ask opinion authors to include a short one- to three-sentence biography written in third person about themselves. The author must also disclose any official associations with candidates and political organizations. Submissions cannot be anonymous.

 

Voices and Letters to the Editor are limited to one submission per month, including those from members of the same organization. A rebuttal to a direct attack against an author within that one-month period will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We do not guarantee publication of all submissions that meet the above requirements.
