County 10 welcomes opinions from the community in the form of letters to our editors. Letters from the community are encouraged about any topic, but especially about community activities, organizations, thank-yous, recognition, actions by public officials, community issues, and civic engagement. Your honest opinion about anything happening in our community is welcome, but County 10 is not a platform to lob cheap shots or just vent. Respectful discourse and the exchange of ideas and thoughts about a wide range of topics is the goal.

Letters must be polite, thoughtful, and free from insulting language, threatening statements, profanity, innuendo, or defamation. You may criticise ideas, public actions, voting records, etc., but we will not accept letters that tear down other people. We will not publish promotional materials for any event, business, resource or organization, but your thoughts and comments about those topics are fair game.

In addition, as of January 2026, letters…

• Must be 500 words or less. Stay on topic. Longer submissions may be considered as a source for an article about the topic, but will not normally be considered for Talk in the 10. County 10 reserves the right to make the final call. 
• Must be YOUR opinion and may not put words in others’ mouths except to quote them.
• We verify factual claims. If you’re going to claim facts, stats, or quote someone else, sources must be provided. If our Editors have to do in-depth research to verify your claim, your submission is not likely to be published. 
• Must be submitted from a valid email (which will not be published), and signed (your name will be published). County 10 will not publish anonymous Letters to the Editor.
• Must be from an individual or group of individuals, not an organization and contain full names and Fremont County City of residence (which will be published), or if in the County, the nearest municipality. Letters from anyone living outside Fremont County will not be accepted, except in special circumstances. 

County 10 reserves the right not to publish any letter received, for any reason, but if the criteria above is not met, it won’t even be considered.

County 10 recognizes that not everyone is a writer, but everyone has opinions. To that end, letters may be edited for clarity, grammar, etc. or sent back for revisions to comply with our policies. Submissions may be published in groups of letters or individually, a decision entirely up to County 10 staff. Submit all letters to opinion@county10.com, submissions by any other method risk not being reviewed.
