Op-eds are my favorite part of the newspaper. They provide a unique perspective by giving non-journalist members of the community a platform to weigh in on the news. Op-ed writers never fail to surprise me with the interesting insights they draw from their professional expertise and personal experiences. Op-eds also tend to have a far more varied writing style than the rest of the paper, which provides a nice break from the often-dry news.
