What happened

A newspaper’s reader-letter submission notice says that emailed letters must include the writer’s postal address. The notice also asks the writer to include an internal code/reference number with the submission.

Background and earlier position

Reader-letter systems in media organizations typically require identity-related details so submissions can be tracked and verified internally. Postal addresses and internal reference codes support this administrative processing.

What changed now

The supplied information does not describe any change over time. It states current submission requirements for emailed letters: inclusion of the postal address and inclusion of the internal code/reference number.
