Reach your audience with an op-ed

March 13, 2020

Looking to get media exposure for an SFU expert?

Consider pitching an op-ed, or opinion piece, to a local or national news organization. An op-ed lets an expert speak to a specific audience in their own words. The best op-eds take a firm stand, are backed by fact-supported arguments, and offer a unique perspective on current topics of discussion.

A recent example is this op-ed by Thomas Gunton (School of Resource and Environmental Management) in the Globe and Mail. Among the outlets you may want to consider are The Conversation (any edition), Medium and Eos.
