Getting published in established media shouldn’t only be the privilege of groups with huge public relations budgets. And bloggers striving to build followers can do so with compelling prose. News media and readers are hungry for well-written, well-argued opinion pieces that clearly demonstrate a thoughtful position.

In this Tyee Master Class, founding editor of The Tyee David Beers will take you through the steps to constructing an effective opinion piece, and how to get the attention of editors and social media groups who are likely to publish and share you. Editors including The Tyee’s – you will be invited to submit your op-ed for publication in our pages.
