Media

Op-Eds (referring to the page opposite of the editorial page) refer to articles written expressing the author’s opinion. They are longer than letter to the editors and allow for more opinion, but can be harder to get printed in a paper.

Here are some tips that will help you get your column in the paper:

1. Know the paper’s style. Every paper has different expectations. The average is usually from about 400 - 750 words, but look at the op-eds in your paper to see what is typical; don’t exceed that.
