While the Op-Ed is similar to the Letter to the Editor, there are key differences between the two. The video below highlights the elements that differentiate an Op-Ed from a Letter to the Editor.
An associate journal editor (Roslyn M. Compton), a graduate
psychology student (Katherine (Katie), M. Ottley), and an
undergraduate psychology student (Thomas Qiao), explored
their experiences and understandings of writing Letters to
the Editor, Op-Eds, and creative writing pieces.
