Letter to Editor

All Letters to the Editor must be 400 words or less. To be considered for publication, the letter must be signed by the author with an address and telephone number included for verification only. Personal attacks, form letters, and letters promoting political candidates/issues above a statewide level will not be accepted. Letters containing language or content that is blatantly offensive, letters based on proven inaccuracies or letters considered libelous will not be published. Letters may be edited or rejected at the discretion of the editor. All letters reflect the opinion of the letter writer and not necessarily the opinion of The Munising Beacon. It is a privilege, not a Constitutional right, to have a letter published in a privately-owned publication.

Obituaries

Obituary pricing is determined by the number of words. The minimum cost is $100, which includes a photo and up to 600 words. For each additional 50 words, the price increases by $20. Death Notices are printed for free, but do not include a photo. Death notices may contain the person’s name, age, birth and death dates, birth and death locations, parents, memorial/ funeral services and where memorials/condolences may be directed.

Weddings/Engagements

There is no charge for Wedding/Engagement announcements as long as editing rights are given. Announcements that include an invitation or that the family wants published exactly as submitted can be published at the rate of a display ad ($7.50 per column inch). A photo can be included for no additional charge. Announcements are scheduled on a spaceavailable basis.

Births/Anniversaries

There is no charge for Birth/Anniversary announcements as long as editing rights are given. If the announcement includes an invitation, it can be placed in the paper at the rate of a display ad ($7.50 per column inch). A photo can be included for no additional charge. Announcements are scheduled on a space-available basis.

Deadline for submissions is Monday before publication at 12pm eastern time.
