Policies

The staff at the Ransom County Gazette strives to present news and advertising fairly and accurately. We appreciate any errors being brought to our attention.

Letters to the Editor
The Gazette welcomes letter to the editor. Please type or print letters and sign them by hand. Include an address and phone number so we can verify their source. The Gazette’s policy is to require signed letters. We reserve the right to edit or omit any letter. If you have questions, call the general manager at 701-683-4128.

Obituary
We have a standard format for obituaries which includes: Name, age, date, place of death, date and place of service, date of birth and location, parents names, date of marriages, date spouse died (if spouse precedes in death), schools attended, occupation, organizations, church affiliation, immediate family survivors (i.e. spouse, parents, children, brothers, sisters), pallbearers, special music at service and burial place.  This information will be provided free of charge.  However, if the family requests other information,  such as photo, hobbies, grandchildren’s names, special friends, personality, interests, etc., this information can be provided in a boxed paid obituary for $50.00.    Unless the family specifically requests a paid obituary, the obituary will be edited and published in our usual format, free of charge.   The Gazette is not responsible for information which has been incorrectly submitted.  We reserve the right to edit.
