Write Letters to Editors
Letters to the editor or "op-eds" as they are
called, are the best way to get your thoughts out to the public for free. Letters should be written directly to their editorial page editor.
Let them know that your view is based on your
Atheism. The paper is looking for controversial, attention-getting letters.
Keep your letter short and focused on one main point. If an article has already run in your newspaper that you can write in response to, your letter is more likely to be published.
Make sure to check your newspaper’s guidelines for submitting Letters to the Editor. Most require a full address and phone number for
confirmation, and many have specific word limits.
If your newspaper hasn’t run your letter within one week, you have a good chance of getting them to print it by calling the editor to follow up.
