syndicated columns
Widely published opinion pieces
Syndicated columns are newspaper or magazine features written by a single author and distributed to multiple publications simultaneously through a syndication service.
Rather than being exclusive to one outlet, these columns—whether advice, political commentary, or humor—appear in dozens or hundreds of newspapers at once: Dear Abby was one of the most widely syndicated columns in America.
The arrangement lets smaller papers afford prominent writers while giving columnists broader reach and income.
