Letters
All newspapers encourage letters to the editor and intend to print the opinions of their readers with as few restrictions as possible. The Fort Frances Times is no exception.
Rules governing letters to the editor in the Fort Frances Times are:
All letters must be signed, and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published.
The writer must submit his/her letter in person and satisfactory identify themselves, or submit a telephone number to be used to verify that the letter was actually written by the person whose name is included on it, delaying publication if necessary to make the verification.
Letter will not be accepted from people outside the local coverage area unless the letters are written on a topic of primarily local interest.
If a letter attacks another individual or group, the Times will allow a response in the same edition.
Letters should not exceed 300 words and may be edited for length and content.

Jack Elliott Dear Mr. Editor: It is indeed a tragedy when anyone is injured or loses their life in an accident like Mr. Hyatt did recently, but to suggest that the coverage of it was inappropriate or “salacious” is in itself inappropriate. Anyone who has ever had to cover a […]
Rebecca Benson Editor: I am writing this letter with disappointment as when I went to read the obituary of Aaron Hyatt on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2010, I came across the front page of the Fort Frances Times newspaper. I could not believe your newspaper would print a picture of the […]
Lori Eaton Editor: I could not believe my eyes when I received my Fort Frances Times this past week. Right there on the front page is the scene of a fatal crash—the crash that took the life of Aaron Hyatt. How horrible for his family, loved ones, and friends to […]
Donna Heyens Dear editor: I am writing this letter in regards to the picture splashed all over the front page of the Feb. 3 issue of the Times of the horrendous accident scene that took the life of Aaron Hyatt. I am appalled at the Times for printing this, not […]
