Letter to the editor anchors enduring American journalism
The author, in a long reminiscence, defends letters to the editor as a durable cornerstone of American journalism. He recalls decades in the trade, defends free speech, praises a council member, and notes readers’ and writers’ roles in shaping public discourse. He also touches on nuclear ecology talk, personal anecdotes, and a light closing about music critics online.
