How we find opinions

This is the first of four posts in which Spec Opinion explains how we receive, edit, and choose outside submissions for publication. Look out for the next three in the coming week.

The editorial page, otherwise known as the opinion page, prints four types of content: staff editorials, regular columns, op-eds, and letters to the editor.

Staff editorials are written by Spectator's editorial board. The editorial board is different from the managing board. Most of the members on the editorial board are not editors—their sole responsibility is to determine the official editorial (opinion) voice of the paper.
