Use this list of major local media (plus USA Today) to send letters. Letters should respond to a journal's specific article or general coverage, and opinion/"op-ed" commentaries should reflect a journal's general style. Include your name, address, and daytime and evening phone numbers. The shorter the letter or commentary, the better the chance it will be used. All journals reserve the right to edit letters for length and clarity. Contact information is also given, where available, for opinion/"op-ed" commentaries. Always check journals' Web sites for the most current submission information and expected style.

If the journal you want is not listed below, try http://go-newyorkcity.com/media/, and Newsdirectory's state and national listings.
