North Texas Daily

The Editorial Board

Recently, there has been a sort of backlash following the publication of a piece titled “Letter: Don’t do the Fry Street Crawl.” It was penned by criminologist Dexter Simpson on behalf of the McMillan family and its legal team regarding the shooting death of Ryan McMillan on Fry Street.

The letter was printed because of our open forum policy, where those looking to address our readership with a written letter have the platform to do so. Letters, as with opinion pieces not written by the editorial board, do not necessarily reflect the values of the paper, only those of the writer.

Newspapers have long printed letters with unpopular opinions. Everything from the thoughts of greedy and corrupt politicians to the stories of embattled soldiers and convicted felons.

We’re an open forum.

In closing, we invite anyone interested to write us a letter. Tell us how you feel, what you think and if you want your voice to be heard outside of social media, we’d be happy to print it. Feel free to send all inquiries to northtexasdaily@gmail.com.
