What to Look for When Searching for an Op Ed
Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to search for op eds in our databases. When you find an article to use, here are things to look for to determine if it's an op ed:
- First person vs Third person
- Personal vs objective
- Usually written by an author who is not a member of the publications writers or editors.
- Often written to persuade or call to action rather than inform the audience about a current topic.
