a written article or essay expressing the personal opinions or viewpoints of the author on a particular topic, often published in a newspaper, magazine, or online publication

An opinion piece is an article that expresses the personal views or beliefs of the writer on a particular topic. It offers the writer's perspective, analysis, or argument about current events, issues, or policies. Unlike news stories, which aim to present facts objectively, opinion pieces are subjective and are intended to persuade or provoke thought among readers. They are often found in editorial sections of newspapers, magazines, or online platforms.
