It is written by a staff columnist or an outside contributor and should present a clear point of view or argument supported by specific evidence. It’s important to note that an op-ed does not necessarily reflect the opinions of Displaced Voices and may even contradict the opinion of Displaced Voices’ Editorial Board.

Op-eds must not have been submitted to, posted on, or published by any other media outlet. Op-eds should include the writer’s full name.
