Catholic Social Teaching in Action: Letters to the Editor
The written word has a unique dynamic. Specifically, Letters to the Editor are particularly powerful. The varied audience and vast distribution has the ability to inform and transform. Although these letters are widely read, very few individuals actually use this forum. This workshop aims to provide facts about the power and value of Letters to the Editor (LTE) in conjunction with tips for crafting a response. In addition, participants will be invited to draft a sample letter, applying the tips and tools.
