letters include name, address, and phone number. The Cook County News-Herald may withhold a name to protect a letter writer, but will never run a letter

questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.
The Cook County News-Herald also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words,
however at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published. All
letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.
