How do I find a newspaper commentary, editorial, letter to the editor, or op/ed?
Answer
Open the newspaper database called ProQuest Newsstand. Change the Document Type to one of the following categories:
- Commentary
- Editorial
- Editorial cartoon/comic
- Letter to the editor
Now enter any keywords or phrases related to your topic, such as abortion, globalization, water pollution, etc., and click the search button. Regular newspaper articles will be eliminated and your results will be various opinion pieces.
