Columnists write opinion columns for the opinion pages of the Review on virtually any topic. The goal of a columnist should be to generate public debate and discussion in an informative manner. Columns should be truthful and written in an authoritative manner. The editor-in-chief has the final right of approval of all content. Each columnist will be specifically expected to:

• Write one column every week
• Produce other, shorter content for commentary page as necessary
• Blog at least once weekly (not the same topic as the column)
• Coordinate with opinion editor to verify dates and deadlines for publication
• Become familiar with Associated Press and Review style
• Attend required desk and newsroom meetings
• Monitor the news daily to keep abreast of events and issues to ensure originality of column ideas
• Set individual goals each semester to improve journalistic skills
• Make reasoned and truthful statements in columns and back up assertions with examples
• Not write hate speech
• Contribute to supplements as needed
