Letters

KHI accepts letters to the editor on pertinent topics. Letters sent only to KHI have a better chance of being published than open or third-party letters. Open or third-party letters may be submitted for consideration as op-ed pieces or commentary.

Letters for publication should be no longer than about 300 words and should refer to an article or report that has appeared on the KHI Web site. The letter must include the writer's name, address and phone numbers. Names will be published but the address and phone numbers are for confirmation purposes only and will not be published.

We regret we cannot return or acknowledge unpublished letters. Writers of letters selected for publication will be notified before they are posted.

Send a letter to the editor by e-mailing letters@khi.org or faxing (785) 233-1168.
