op-ed (plural op-eds)

  1. A newspaper page containing signed articles by commentators expressing viewpoints that may not agree with those espoused by the editorial board, traditionally printed opposite the editorial page.

It requires a clear thesis, backed by rigorously marshaled evidence, in the service of a persuasive argument.2017 August 26, Bret Stephens, “Tips for Aspiring Op-Ed Writers”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, archived from the original on 20 Dec 2017
