Having our Say:  Letters to the Editor

Just what does it take to get your letter to the editor published in The Boston Globe? It helps to be enraged, but not unhinged; articulate, but not long-winded. A good letter can say more in 200 words than a week's worth of coverage. Matthew Bernstein, the Globe's Letters Editor since 2006, talks about the process of selecting letters for publication, looks back at a sample of "greatest hits," and discusses the importance of showcasing readers' opinions in an increasingly crowded online sphere.

Matthew Bernstein has served as the Globe’s Letters Editor since 2006, and published a number of articles on a variety of topics as a Globe Correspondent before taking his present position.
