oped
Newspaper viewpoint section
An oped (also op-ed) is a newspaper or magazine article expressing the author's opinion, typically by an outside contributor rather than staff.
The term comes from "opposite the editorial page," where such pieces traditionally appeared.
Now used broadly for any opinion piece: She wrote an oped criticizing the mayor's housing plan.
