News Media 201: How to Write Opinion Pieces

On Thursday, Apr 11, join us online from 3:30-5pm for a conversation with Montclair’s Media Relations team to learn about writing effective opinion pieces for News Media.

Posted in: News Media Series, OFE Partner Sessions, Research

Want your thoughts on the news of the day – in your own words – to reach millions of readers? In this workshop, the Media Relations team will provide a template for writing effective opinion pieces for the news media. Participants will learn the process, step by step, and review examples from Montclair State faculty who have seen their work published in the media. Opinion pieces have a format that is widely accepted, and not particularly difficult to learn. Writing guidelines and submission schedules for outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post will also be provided.
