Connecting with Media
Newspapers:
Most local papers have a submission page on their digital newspaper.
You can send an email to your local paper's editor.
Most national papers have op-ed competitions.
Internet Papers:
Most physical newspapers have an online version.
The most popular way to get an editorial published is via their website.
Look for a contact form on the website.
Magazines:
Even magazines like Vogue have op-ed articles.
These articles typically center around topics related to the magazine (love, homecare, fashion).
Magazines tend to be less divisive and more specific.
Almost all magazines have a section like this, but it is harder to get your work published.
Social Media:
Connect with news sources via their social media accounts, such as Instagram or Facebook.
This is a good tool to learn more about where you want to submit.
However, it is NOT a professional way to contact a business about submitting your op-ed."
