That's a good point I didn't even think of, however it may have been subject to censorship and editing by the newspaper staff and would have limited reach for most newspapers, not a global audience.
Also I don't think I ever wrote a response to any newspaper in pre internet times, that's a lot of work just to be heard.
- GrinningFool 7y agoI did a couple of 'letter to the editor' that got published in those dark and dusty times. I don't recall any editing and there was no censoring, but they did get to determine which letters were published. It was fun, and I certainly _felt_ like I was being heard - first when I saw my words in print, and again when selected replies would get published a week later or so. Ultimately, I suppose not so different than posting to $platform_of_choice and waiting for replies/retweets/etc. Just slower.
