opinion page

Where columnists publish

An opinion page is a section of a newspaper or news website dedicated to commentary, editorials, and personal viewpoints rather than objective reporting.

Distinguished from news coverage, opinion pages feature columns, letters to the editor, and guest essays expressing the writer's perspective: The paper's opinion page endorsed the challenger.

Also called the op-ed page, though technically op-ed refers to the page opposite the editorial page.
