Op-ed and letter to the editor submission

Interested in voicing your opinion about an issue on campus or responding to content in ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±×ÊÁÏ? Read our house guidelines and tips before submitting an op-ed or letter to the editor here. Submission form is located at the bottom of the page.

What's an Op-Ed?

Many forms of writing can be considered op-eds, including explanatory essays, commentary, reflections on cultural or political trends and more. These are general commentary about issues or events in the news, not in response to content published in a specific publication like ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±×ÊÁÏ.

How do I submit one to ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±×ÊÁÏ?

ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±×ÊÁÏ welcomes op-eds on topics relevant to the Pitt community for print and/or online. We prefer timely, fact-based pieces that focus on campus happenings and initiatives but will also consider submissions on more general subjects. We rarely accept op-eds from PR-type organizations. Submissions should be no more than 600 words. All submissions should be original — we do not accept content that has already been published elsewhere. Please make sure to cite sources for any assertions in your essay — op-eds should not contain any libelous, unverified claims. Authors cannot be anonymous or submit under a pseudonym. If you do not hear back from us after one week, feel free to offer your op-ed elsewhere.
