Whats the “op-ed” page?
” Op-ed” is short for “opposite editorial,” meaning the page is physically opposite the editorial page. This page carries opinion columns about major news events and current topics. These columns may or may not be written Courier Times staff and carry a range of opinions within political or social spectrums. Sometimes the Courier Times publishes syndicated columnists from other newspapers; sometimes articles from local individuals – business, political, educational, or other leaders in the community.
