The open letter is a letter that is intended to be read by a wide audience or a letter intended for an individual but is nonetheless widely distributed intentionally. Open letters are traditionally published by newspapers and magazines but because of space constraints in print, the publication of letters is generally limited to VIPs, recognised personalities and people deemed to be acting in the public interest. Despite the virtually limitless space on the web it is also the case with online newspapers and magazines.

Here are some reasons why people publish open letters

• To draw society’s attention to an issue that’s not receiving appropriate publicity
• To express a philosophical point of view s an attempt to start or end a wider dialogue around an issue
• To influence the actions of governments, corporations or decision-makers
• To empathise with or criticise individuals in the public domain
• To express personal feelings towards someone in your personal life
• To express an emotion or experience and share it with a community
