Nicholas Kristof’s Ten Tips for Writing Op-Eds 
from The New York Times Learning Network



1. Start out with a very clear idea in your own mind about the point you want to make.
Related: Preventing Mass Shootings Like the Vegas Strip Attack


2. Don’t choose a topic, choose an argument.
Related: On Death Row, but Is He Innocent?


3. Start with a bang.
Related: If Americans Love Moms, Why Do We Let Them Die?


4. Personal stories are often very powerful to make a point.
Related: This is What a Refugee Looks Like


5. If the platform allows it, use photos or video or music or whatever.
Related: The Photos the U.S. and Saudi Arabia Don’t Want You to See


6. Don’t feel the need to be formal and stodgy.
Related: Meet the World’s Leaders, in Hypocrisy


7. Acknowledge shortcomings in your arguments if the readers are likely to be aware of them, and address them openly.
Related: A Solution When a Nation’s Schools Fail


8. It’s often useful to cite an example of what you’re criticizing, or quote from an antagonist, because it clarifies what you’re against.
Related: Anne Frank Today Is a Syrian Girl


9. If you’re really trying to persuade people who are on the fence, remember that their way of thinking may not be yours.
Related: We Don’t Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change?


10. When your work is published, spread the word through social media or emails or any other avenue you can think of.
