What are the chances of having your letters published in the ST Forum? Anyone got any comments or any experiences?

Depends on what your letter is about?? If it's pro-government, shouldn't have much problem?? :o

I sent them a few emails but unfortunately, everytime I get their standard reply -

"Thank you for writing to us. We do appreciate your making the effort.

We receive up to 70 letters each day. Limited space means we can publish only about a dozen every weekday.
This means having to make often-difficult editorial judgments on which letters to publish.

We regret we are unable to publish your letter."

That is why I wanted to find out how many letters really get printed.

Isn't your question already answered? The probablity is 17% (12/70). Unless yours is deserving of print. :p

Not sure, but you can always try lesser papers ie Today or NP?

writing clearly and succinctly helps. any letter more than 400 words will be rejected outright (unless your name rhymes with "Boh King").

writing topical issues help too instead of writing about something out of the blue.

What's your point...who fucking reads ST anyway let alone the Forum page?

You get better mileage posting your views & opinions here.

I am wondering what kind of a fuckwit would regularly, almost religiously, write to the Shitty Times Forum, and obsess about whether the letters get published or not? :rolleyes:

Do they get a special kind of high from that activity?
