Submitting an Op-Ed
We are always looking for elected officials, candidates, activists, and other thought leaders to write thought-provoking op-eds about the challenges and opportunities that Nevada face. Specifically, we are looking to amplify diverse, pro-democracy voices on topics like:
- Threats to our rights and freedoms
- The stakes of the 2024 election
- The forces at play in 2024 and beyond
- The consequences of MAGA extremism
- Abortion access in Nevada
- Climate
- Rural
- Education
And here are a few tips on what we’re looking for from an op-ed:
Things we like:
- Concise and focused pieces between 500-1,200 words
- Relevant and timely content
- A clear, structured argument or main point
- A unique perspective
Things we don’t like:
- Lack of structure or focus
- Overly broad content (i.e discussing lots of different issues)
- Self-promotional pieces
- Intentionally inflammatory, libelous, or discriminatory language
To submit an op-ed, email a 250-word pitch or draft of a submission to [email protected] with NEVADA OP-ED PITCH in the subject line. We aim to get back to all pitches received within 7-10 days.
Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Nevadans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at The Nevadan / El Nevadense has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Nevada families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
