Definition

  • In contrast to newspapers in other countries where opinions are expressed throughout the paper, in the United States, opinion is relegated to the editorial or “op-ed” section of the newspaper. “op-ed” is abbreviated from opposite editorial due to the tradition of newspapers placing opinion material on the page opposite the editorial page.
