Interested in learning how to write and pitch opinion pieces to news outlets? Allard Law faculty and graduate students in research-based programs are invited to join us on March 29 to hear from Globe and Mail Opinions Editor Adrian Lee about how to effectively write and pitch your op-ed idea. Adrian will share insights into how to make it likelier that you get an op-ed pitch accepted, how best to structure it when you’re writing it, and how to channel your expertise and insight into accessible and sharp writing for the general public.

This session will take place online. A Zoom link will be provided via email. Please RSVP by March 27.
