NO COVERAGE OF THE COURTS
SAMPLE LETTER TO THE EDITOR
[date]
Dear__________
I am writing today about your recent lack of coverage on [insert name of the case or issue, and date of publication]. As one of our citys most prestigious media outlets you are a main source of information for many of the people in our community. For this reason you have a great responsibility to report the happenings of our court system.
This responsibility is increased significantly when it comes to your coverage of the workings of our government in general and our courts in particular. This is so important because it is essential to the success of our democracy to have an educated and informed public. Most of us will not have the chance to sit in the halls of Congress or witness the workings of our federal courts, so it of the utmost importance that we are able to rely on media outlets like the [insert name] to provide us with these stories in a fair, balanced, and thorough manner.
I hope that in this future, you will provide more coverage on federal courts, and that you will make every effort to provide our [insert city or community] with this crucial information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
[insert your name]
