Local voices and local opinions matter, and we want to share yours. The Globe New Hampshire team welcomes your commentary about issues that are important in the Granite State.

In order to be considered for publication, commentary submitted to Globe New Hampshire must:

  • be focused on issues, news, or events having to do with New Hampshire;
  • be a maximum of 800 words;
  • include links to named, verifiable sources for any data referenced and evidence for claims made;
  • be factually accurate;
  • not include personal attacks;
  • not advertise for a company or product;
  • not be a political campaign speech, announcement, endorsement, or call to vote for a specific candidate;
  • have a real person’s name, not an organization’s, as the byline (two people may share a byline);
  • include a sentence at the end with more information about the author(s), disclosing any ties the writer has to organizations or events mentioned in the commentary;
  • include contact information — full name, email address, and phone number — for the author(s);
  • not be created using Artificial Intelligence (spell check, punctuation, and grammar suggestions built into Google Docs or Microsoft Word are fine, but using AI tools to generate the content of the submission, explain ideas, create a draft, make writing or tone suggestions, and/or suggest alternate phrasing or word choices is not);
  • be exclusive to The Boston Globe.

Email us at NHNews@Globe.com, with COMMENTARY and the topic in the subject line. Due to volume, we can’t personally respond to or publish every submission we receive, but will let you know as soon as possible if your piece has been selected for publication online at Globe.com/NH. All commentary is subject to fact checking and editing for length and clarity.
