An op-ed piece, also known as an opinion editorial, is a type of ESSAY that is published in a newspaper or magazine. It is typically written by a guest writer and expresses the opinion of the author on a particular issue. The two crossword solutions for this term are 'ESSAY' (5 letters) and 'newspapercolumn' (13 letters). An op-ed piece is usually published in a newspaper column and is distinct from other types of articles because it expresses the opinion of the author rather than providing objective facts.
