Since the days of yore, the ‘Letters to the Editor’ section has been serving as an umbilical cord between the newspaper and its readers. In today’s digital world, many individuals express their opinions — ranging from the sublime to the trivial — online. However, when we see a letter in print, we automatically know that it is refined and stands out amidst the clutter. No social networking platform can give one the joy of seeing his or her name in the day’s newspaper (Notebook, “The art of managing LTTE,” Sept. 13).
