Opinions
Opinion pieces should be thoughtful and relevant to the community. They should address issues of interest to the Rockridge community and reflect the writer’s personal viewpoint while remaining respectful and constructive. Submissions must be fact-based where possible, and free of personal attacks, hate speech, or defamatory language. Pieces should not exceed 800 words, and be sent in 7-10 days before the desired publication date. All Opinion submissions are subject to editing for clarity and length, and are published at the editor’s discretion.
Letters to the Editor
Letters should be relevant to the Rockridge community and written by Rockridge residents. All viewpoints are encouraged and respected. To keep things accessible for readers, please limit submissions to 800 words or less. Allow 7 to 10 days for publication. We ask that writers check facts as carefully as possible before submitting, and please note that all letters are published at the editor’s discretion.

For time-sensitive items, please send your announcement with as much lead time as possible. Subscribers are limited to three announcements per month (subject to change).
