Founded in 2003 by Rob Kall, OpEdNews was created to provide a platform for diverse opinions and commentary on important social and political issues. The idea came from Rob's desire to create a space where writers could share their views and engage in meaningful discussions, especially on topics that are often ignored by mainstream media. Today, OpEdNews is owned and operated by Rob Kall and a team of dedicated contributors. OpEdNews covers a wide range of topics, including politics, social justice, environmental issues, and health. The publication features articles, essays, and opinion pieces from various writers, aiming to foster dialogue and provide alternative perspectives on current events. Based in the United States, OpEdNews serves as a key source for readers looking for in-depth analysis and commentary on pressing issues. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of OpEdNews is that it allows anyone to submit their articles for publication, giving a voice to a wide array of contributors, from seasoned writers to everyday citizens. This open platform encourages grassroots participation and helps highlight diverse viewpoints that might not be represented in traditional media outlets.
