We’re committed to publishing community voices from all parts of the Dayton region — and we want your voice to be part of it.
Why Opinion Content Matters:
- It reflects the community’s voice. Opinion pieces give readers a platform to express what matters most to them.
- It fosters dialogue. Letters and columns encourage healthy debate and deeper understanding of local issues.
- It strengthens democracy. Sharing diverse viewpoints helps ensure decisions and policies reflect the people they impact.
When you contribute, you’re not just writing—you’re helping build a stronger, more connected community.
How to Submit Your Letter:
- Keep it concise. Aim for 150–250 words.
- Focus on local relevance. Share your thoughts on issues that affect our community.
- Include your name and contact info. We verify submissions before publishing.
- Send it to: edletter@coxinc.com or submit via our online form here.
Want to go deeper?
If you have a unique perspective or expertise, consider pitching a guest column, which we call “Voices.” Columns typically run 500–600 words and allow you to explore an issue in more depth. See examples of Voices columns here.
Your voice matters. Join the conversation today—submit your letter or column and help keep this space vibrant and meaningful.
