To the editor:

“How do you handle criticism?”

Adam, that is a good question. How do you handle criticism?

My critique is this. Take some time to know your audience. We are a small town. A people that love this place we call home and the people within it. Take some time to get to know us, and consider us as readers before you put the pen to the paper. Lastly, leave your personal attacks for face-to-face encounters, not the newspaper.

You have heard, don’t judge a book by its cover. To those outside of Marion, please don’t judge our town by its newspaper. It is not a true reflection of who we are.

Danielle Lange, Marion
