Observer Submission Date Change

Print More

You may have noticed our front-page banner announcing that the deadline for submissions has been moved from the 15th of the month to the 12th, starting with the February issue. While we realize that the change may occasionally be an inconvenience for some, it reflects an effort by The Suffield Observer to deal with an issue of concern. With increasing frequency submissions that, even when civil, may be of a nature that an individual or group directly or indirectly identified, should be allowed to have a response published in the same edition. The earlier date will provide a better opportunity for a timely response when appropriate, without delaying the paper’s production timeline. Of course, the ultimate determination of whether a “response” is required, or the impact of any failure to respond when offered the opportunity, remains within the sole discretion of the Editorial Staff. Thank you for your input and your understanding of the need for the new deadlines.
