Regarding guidelines for letters to the editor, the subject matter of letters to the editor vary widely. However, the most common topics include: Supporting or opposing an editorial stance, or responding to another writer's letter to the editor. Commenting on a current issue being debated by a governing body – local, regional or national depending on the publication's circulation. Often, the writer will urge elected officials to make their decision based on his/her viewpoint. Remarking on materials (such as a news story) that have appeared in a previous edition. Such letters may either be critical or praising. Correcting a perceived error or misrepresentation. Letters are usually short, as they must sometimes fit in a limited space. Many newspapers require that letters to the editor be under a certain number of words, and may attach other conditions, such as prohibiting anonymous letters, letters that contain misinformation, are meant to libel someone, are obscene or in poor taste, or meant to resolve a personal conflict. In at least one case, a publication redefined its guidelines and use of the form, based on the evolving needs of the publication and the community it served. Other frequent conditions include limiting writers to one published letter within a specified time period (often, one per 30 days) or limiting the publication of letters on controversial topics after a certain time period, especially if the debate takes an emotional toll on the involved parties. Some editors will also decline to publish letters that have also been sent to other newspapers, especially competing newspapers.
