Opinion Pieces

Newspaper opinion pieces on timely issues can provide an opportunity to reach some of your most strategic audiences. Op-eds, named for their position "opposite the editorial" page, can generate additional media visibility, showcase your group's insights, and connect you with influential constituents. A published opinion can also be an excellent, credible position paper for distribution to policymakers, the public and funders.

We'll help you produce op-eds on compelling topics that have a link to a current issue, are easy to read, highlight your issue using statistics to back up your point, are grammatically and factually correct, and adhere to a newspaper's submission requirements on length and style.

We'll use our understanding of newspapers' particular audiences to determine the best forum for your piece, and then work for you to get it published. (See "Placing your story in the news.")
