BACKGROUND

One of the main forums where “policy” is debated and discussed is in the Op-Ed section of newspapers
and magazines. Anyone from an ordinary citizen, an expert, to the President uses the Op-ed section to (1)
identify policy issues and/or promote solutions, (2) to persuade people to support a specific piece of
legislation or policy, or (3) to encourage policy makers to support policy/legislation. Note: Policy can be
anything from parking fees to immigration policy.
