Opinion Editorials, or Op-Ed’s, are an excellent way for individuals, organizations, businesses and institutions to articulate a unique position on a particular issue. Think of it as persuasive writing in its most compelling form. Different from a Letter to the Editor, an Op-Ed combines an influential opinion with facts, figures and examples to deliver a thoughtful view point to the thought leaders who often read a newspaper’s opinion pages.
