I am looking to typeset a "Letters to the Editor" page, which looks similar to that of the UK newspaper The Times (pictured below). I have tried to search for a letters page template, but all I have found are templates for letters rather than a letters page.

LaTeX isn't very good in typesetting newspaperlike pages. Maybe some day LuaTeX will offer things like a given layout into which the text »flows«.

But however, to make a page look like the one you printed above, I can offer a kind of structure. You can make it prettier in a million ways, but at least it shows a possible way to go:

documentclass[paper=a3, pagesize, english, fontsize=12pt, parskip=half, DIV=30, headings=large]scrartcl
usepackage[T1]fontencusepackage[utf8]inputenc

LaTeX isn't very good in typesetting newspaperlike pages. Maybe some day LuaTeX will offer things like a given layout into which the text »flows«.

But however, to make a page look like the one you printed above, I can offer a kind of structure. You can make it prettier in a million ways, but at least it shows a possible way to go:

documentclass[paper=a3, pagesize, english, fontsize=12pt, parskip=half, DIV=30, headings=large]scrartcl
usepackage[T1]fontencusepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagebabel, xspace, blindtext, babel, multicol, ragged2e, graphicx,
 tikzducks, xcolor
usetikzlibraryducks

 usepackage[tracking=true]microtype
 usepackage[osf]libertine
 SetTrackingencoding= * , shape = sc25

 setlengthcolumnsep2em
 setlengthcolumnseprule0.5pt
 renewcommandcolumnseprulecolorcolorred

begindocumentthispagestyleempty
beginminipage[t]0.23linewidth
 begincenter
 begintikzpicture
 draw (0,0) pic[ duck/water=green, duck/alien, ] duck;
 endtikzpicture
 endcenter

 section*Beetles and crops
 labelCLA:beetles-crops

 blindtext[2]

 section*Status of engineers
labelCLA:status-engineers

blindtext

endminipage%
hfillvlinehfill%
beginminipage[t]0.73linewidth
 beginmulticols3[textbfLargesffamilyWinners and losers in something I can't read]

section*Golden pension pot
labelCLA:golden-pension-pot

blindtext

section*Stoned by accident
labelCLA:stoned-accident

blindtext

blindtext[2]

 endmulticols
endminipage%
enddocument

Looks like this:

I could not resist to play around, the result is probably even less convincing, but it was fun!
