Talkback Guidelines

Always thought-provoking, sometimes controversial, Independent Lens brings you documentaries, dramas, shorts and Web-exclusive projects made by independent thinkers.

Talkback and tell us what you think! We encourage you to share your thoughts and opinions. All points of view are welcome as part of a civil dialogue.

While Independent Lens posts most user Talkback, we reserve the right to not publish Talkback comments if they do not meet key guidelines.

We do not post the following types of submissions:

• Obscenity, indecency, hate speech, personal attacks, libel, defamation or harassment
• Commercial prompts or spam
• Off-topic posts
• Talkback comments longer than 250 words. (Comments may be edited for length, but not grammar or content.)

No more than one comment, per user, per day will be posted. (Spam will not be tolerated.)

Talkback comments are posted Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

We welcome letters to the editor. With your submission, please include your email address so a response may be sent to you directly. Your email address will not be shared with anyone.

Thank you for your Talkback!
