Once or twice a week, we’ll send out a question of local importance or interest and ask E-board participants to respond with short answers, typically from 50-75 words on up to 200-250. In other words, the kind questions that will produce a “I think such and such” answer as opposed to an essay-type response.
There’ll be no obligation to respond, simply the opportunity to do so if you’re so inclined.
We’ll select some responses and print them on the opinion page along with head shots of the respondents.
Sometimes the question will be about a state or national topic, sometimes it will be about a story or series we’ve just run.
And ocassionally, you’ll be privy to stories before they run. We’ll send you a synopsis or early draft of the story in advance and publish your comments in the same issue.
The only requirement we’ll have is a valid e-mail address for exchanging questions and answers.
If this sounds like something you might like to take part in, e-mail the editor at david.schiefelbein@lakesunonline.com.
Please put E-board in the subject line, include a name and phone number and attach a photograph we can use.
