Submit an Opinion Essay
An op-ed is an opinion essay written by a staff member or outside contributor. Op-eds do not represent the views of The Prairie News.
- Lead with a statement on the situation and take a clear stance. Make your point clear quickly and avoid getting sidetracked.
- Avoid jargon.
- Check your facts and back them up by providing sources.
- Don’t overload your reader with statistics.
- Get your point across with shorter sentences that explain complex thoughts.
We encourage op-eds that contribute to timely conversations and provide a fresh perspective. Occasionally, we will suggest edits for clarity, the logic of argumentation, and organization.
All op-ed submissions should be sent to [email protected].
