The Detroit News accepts submissions of commentaries between 600 and 750 words on current public policy and societal issues on the local, state, national and international scene. The work must be the author's own and it must be exclusive to The Detroit News in Southeast Michigan. We do not accept articles that have been submitted to the Free Press.

First priority is given to local and state topics written by Michigan writers. Because of the large volume of commentary submissions The Detroit News receives, we can only publish a few on any given week. We try to let writers know by phone or mail of The News' final decision.
