The Vail Daily welcomes press releases, news tips, story suggestions, letters to the editor and guest columns. All submissions will be considered. The decision to print any submission is at the discretion of the Vail Daily editors.
We look forward to receiving your submission and sharing it with our community. Although we aim to publish all submissions, we cannot guarantee publication or specific publication date.
Letters
Write a letter to the editor or a guest column
The Vail Daily accepts letters to the editor that are 300 words or less. Column submissions should be 500 words or less. Letters and columns must include the author’s name, hometown, affiliation (if any) and phone number (for verification purposes only). The decision to print any submission is at the discretion of the Vail Daily editor. Form letters and letters considered libelous, obscene or in bad taste will not be printed, nor will letters containing personal attacks. Claims made in submissions have to be supported by facts and must cite sources as needed. Frequent writers are typically limited to having one letter or column run a month to keep the conversation fresh. There is also an emphasis on keeping the focus in the commentary section on local issues. Send your letter to letters@vaildaily.com and guest columns to valleyvoices@vaildaily.com
