Op-Ed Submission Policy
The Harvard Crimson welcomes unpublished, unsolicited manuscripts.
Op-Eds should range from 650-900 words. They can be e-mailed to letters@thecrimson.com,
faxed to (617) 576-9393 or sent to the Editorial Board c/o The Harvard
Crimson, 14 Plympton St., Cambridge, MA 02138. Due to the volume
of submissions that we receive, we regret that we may not return
or acknowledge submissions that are not published. Under no circumstances can the publication of a piece be guaranteed
before it is reviewed by the Editorial Board. If you are considering
writing an op-ed, please contact an Editorial executive to discuss
the topic and content. Op-ed submissions may be edited at the discretion
of the Editorial Board.
Op-Eds must be signed by their author(s). Each op-ed
must bear the name of at least one individual. If the op-ed represents
the viewpoints
of a group, organization or corporation, the individual's affiliation
will be noted at the bottom of the published piece. Multiple authors
(generally three or fewer) will only be listed if each individual
contributed equally to the writing of the piece. "Petition" signatures
will not be published. To ensure accurate attribution, authors are
encouraged to include their full name (including middle initial),
class year (if a graduate or undergraduate of Harvard College), and
other Harvard or relevant affiliation(s), if any. Please also include
an e-mail address or evening phone number so that an editor may contact
you if your op-ed is chosen for publication.
Op-ed submissions must be previously unpublished.
The Crimson does not accept pieces sent "in bulk" to
multiple newspapers unless it can be assured of its right to first
publication.
Although we welcome op-eds that respond to issues raised by articles
or editorials of The Crimson, pieces that focus primarily on specific
features of previously published articles should instead be submitted
as letters to the editors. The Editorial Board, at its discretion,
may publish any such piece in the letters section.
Letters to the editor
The Harvard Crimson welcomes letters from its readers.
Letters can be e-mailed to letters@thecrimson.com, faxed to (617)
576-9393 or sent to the Editorial Board c/o The Harvard Crimson,
14 Plympton St., Cambridge, MA 02138. Although there is no length
limit on letters, most letters range from 50 to 200 words, and
brevity is encouraged. Under no circumstances can the publication
of a letter be guaranteed before it is reviewed by the Editorial
Board.
In order to be considered for publication, letters must fulfill
the following requirements:
1) Letters must be signed by their author(s). Each
letter must bear the name of at least one individual. If the letter
represents the
viewpoints of an group, organization or corporation, the individual's
affiliation will be noted at the bottom of the published piece. Multiple
authors (generally three or fewer) will only be listed if each individual
contributed equally to the writing of the letter. "Petition" signatures
will not be published. To ensure accurate attribution, authors are
encouraged to include their full name (including middle initial),
class year (if a graduate or undergraduate of Harvard College), other
Harvard or relevant affiliation(s), and the city and state from which
you are writing. Please also include an e-mail address or evening
phone number so that an editor may contact you if your letter is
chosen for publication.
2) Letters must directly respond to pieces that have been previously
published in The Crimson. This includes, but is not limited to, content
in the daily sections and weekly supplements. Responses to advertisements
will not be published. Comments about advertisement content may be
directed to The Crimson's Business board.
3) Letters that point out factual misrepresentations or errors will
not appear as letters to the editors, but may be published as clarifications
or corrections in the news section of the daily paper.
4) All letters sent to "letters@thecrimson.com" are
assumed to be sent for publication unless the letter explicitly
states otherwise.
General comments to the Editorial Board can be sent to editorial@thecrimson.com.
If a letter is selected for publication, the author(s) will be notified.
Letters may be edited at the discretion of the Editorial Board. Due
to the volume of letters we receive, we regret that we may not acknowledge
or return letters that will not be published, but all submissions
are carefully read by a member of the Crimson staff.
