Writing Letters to the Editor
One of the most effective ways to get involved and make your voice heard in your community is writing a Letter to the Editor of your local paper. A general rule is that letters are 200-400 words or less.
Below are links to 11 of the largest newspapers in Montana, but newspapers tend to favor letters from within their distribution areas. If there is a local paper in your community, look up their contact information and submit a letter to them as well.
