op-ed articles

An op-ed (short for "opposite the editorial page") is a newspaper or magazine article where someone shares their personal opinion on a current issue or topic. It’s written by a guest writer, not the publication's staff, and aims to persuade or inform readers about a particular viewpoint. Op-eds provide a platform for diverse perspectives and foster public discussion. They are usually well-argued, backed by facts or experience, and intended to influence opinion or spark debate about important societal matters.
