The local newspaper wants you:

At the News Sentinel, we understand that because our readers never fail to write to us — in letters to the editor, in guest columns, in articles for the Perspective front and in our newest Saturday editorial page feature, Citizen’s Voice.

Although we printed about 2,400 letters and a number of guest columns in 2006, our limited space prevented us from printing more. Our cups, plates and e-mail — the route for the vast majority of our letters and columns — runneth over.

This year, we plan to provide another outlet for readers’ frustrations, joys, anger, advocacy and analysis. We are looking for community columnists for our Sunday Perspective front.

We welcome a variety of topics, but we will give greater weight to articles about local and regional issues, since we use syndicated columnists for national and international issues during the week.

So, if you want to write for them, get to it.

Years ago, I mentioned to Michael that they should do some rotating blogger column in the Sentinel. You know, one day some local blogger writes an opinion piece. Then pick a new blogger the next week. He said he’d run it up the flagpole. Never heard back from him about it. But if they want writers, there’s literally an infinite resource on the intertubes.
