An editor will reach out to you with edits and/or comments about your article. These edits are mostly based on our Style Guide, as well as some edits for clarity. The Mass Media reserves the right to refuse any articles that may be offensive, harmful or libelous. We also reserve the right to prioritize current UMass Boston students over alumni and faculty.

Submit your letter here.(Required)

All letters must be between 200-500 words, and respond directly to some action taken or article published by The Mass Media. Any facts or claims you make in your letter must be accurate, and if you are drawing on any information besides personal experiences or anecdotes, you must cite a source. The Mass Media reserves the right to not publish any letter to the editor if it believes the content is offensive, defamatory, libelous, or otherwise harmful, and to edit every letter for grammar and spelling. Letters to the editor may not target specific students or faculty, regardless of if that person is involved with The Mass Media.
