syndicated column
Widely published commentary
A syndicated column is a newspaper or magazine feature written by one author but distributed to multiple publications simultaneously.
The columnist writes once; the syndicator sells the piece to papers across the country or world.
This model gave rise to nationally known voices in advice, politics, and humor: Dear Abby was a syndicated column for decades.
The arrangement lets small papers access prominent writers they couldn't afford exclusively.
