Source: 'We Get Published' Published Letters Archive Website: http://www.mapinc.org/lte/ Pubdate: Tuesday, 5 October 1998 Today, the effort started over two years ago to encourage folks to write letters to the editor (LTE) reached another milestone. The value of the contribution made by published letters (PUB LTE), from web page above: * * * * * * * * * * Estimated Ad Value Year Letters Value 1996 105 $104,895.00 1997 396 $395,604.00 1998 521 $520,479.00 Total 1022 $1,020,978.00 * * * * * * * * * * To see how this value is obtained, go to: http://www.mapinc.org/lte/value.htm Since the lists of folks who participate in MAP/Drugsense, to include receiving the news by email, is private and unavailable to the staff and board of directors of MAP/DrugSense, we suspect that there are a few letters shown from folks that do not use our services, and perhaps have never even heard of us. But the large majority of published letters shown are from folks who use our services. But we also suspect that there are an even larger number of PUB LTEs out there that have never reached our web pages. If YOU or someone you know has been published in the past two years, and the PUB LTE is not in our web page archives, please send it to me directly so I can get it where it needs to go. Please use the same format for showing the source and pubdate as shown at: http://www.mapinc.org/hawk.htm Thank you, each and every one of you, who send LTEs to the media. And a special Thank You to Ashley Clements who maintains the Published Letters Archive pages.
