The D.O. Opinion section wants to share your voice

The D.O. wants to create a platform where everyone feels comfortable expressing their own voice.
Dear readers,
The Daily Orange Opinion section is eager to continue amplifying the voices of community members from SU, SUNY-ESF and the greater Syracuse area this upcoming semester.
The D.O. provides relevant, thought-provoking and unique opinion pieces throughout the year. We value diversity of thought and we strive to have a diverse array of columnists from all different majors, ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, geographic locations and backgrounds.
We want to create a platform where everyone feels comfortable expressing their own voice.
Recently, we have started to expand and highlight underrepresented voices through different projects, such as “Absence of Light,” which highlights the voices of incarcerated individuals at Auburn Correctional Facility in Auburn, New York, and “Black Voices,” which amplifies the voices of Black students and community members. We plan to continue fostering these projects as well as create more projects to uplift underrepresented voices in our community.
Writing a column for The D.O. requires research and diligence, but mostly a strong voice. Everyone has a unique perspective on issues that our community faces. We want to hear your take.
The D.O. Opinion section gives columnists the flexibility and freedom to write about topics that they are passionate about and that relate to or are important to the SU, SUNY-ESF or greater Syracuse communities.
Being a columnist for the Opinion section requires writing a column at least once every two weeks. Along with publishing our regular columnists, the Opinion section publishes personal essay and guest column submissions. We welcome essays or columns from anyone within the SU, SUNY-ESF and greater Syracuse communities. If you are interested in writing with us or submitting a piece, please email opinion@dailyorange.com and include your full name, year, position on campus or in the community (if applicable) and phone number.
For more information on submitting personal essays or guest columns, you can visit dailyorange.com/about. If you have any general questions, please email us at opinion@dailyorange.com.
