Howell Wants to Hear From You

Answering e-mail shouldn't trump doing good journalism. Reading thoughtful e-mail tells journalists what readers think about their work. The opinions can be accepted or not, but knowing them is important. And replying -- even quickly -- to local subscribers lets them know they're needed. We blow them off at our peril.

Deborah Howell can be reached at 202-334-7582 or email her.

Have You E-Mailed The Post Lately?

Sounds like an invitation to me. I hope you won't disappoint her.
