Write a Readers Forum

Columns should be at least 500 and no more than 650 words in length. If you use figures, please cite a source (internally - footnotes aren't required). We can’t use columns that directly rebut or answer a specific Tulsa World editorial, or argue with a previous Readers Forum piece or letter. Letters to the Editor is the proper place for such correspondence. This, of course, doesn't mean that Readers Forum opinions can’t generally oppose or diverge from World editorial positions. The format should state a thesis or purpose and include supporting information. To be considered, a daytime phone number must be included. State how you would like to be identified. This may be as a resident of a city, occupation or affiliation.

Send to david.averill@tulsaworld.com. Please type “Readers Forum Submission” in the subject line. Mail to Tulsa World, Reader Forum Submission, P.O. Box 1770, Tulsa, OK 74102. For more information, call 918-581-8330. Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
