New Letters to the Editor Policy – Letters should be focused on local issues
In 1927, US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, “If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” The Manchester Mirror strongly believes in this ethic; that more speech is generally better […]
