An op-ed is an opinion piece where you take a position and communicate it to a wide audience. Op-eds should be around 600 words, although this depends on the particular newspaper to which you want to send it. You should read op-ed articles in The New York Times, the Washington Post, as well as on op-ed sites on the Internet, such as www.opednews.com, to get a feel for what an op-ed is like.
