Label Opinion as Opinion
3 min readUpdated 20 Jul 2026Required for Opinion, Analysis, Quick take
Readers need to know when you're reporting and when you're arguing. Both are welcome; mixing them without saying so isn't.
A piece that argues for a position must:
- Use the Opinion or Analysis type, which adds the label readers see.
- Keep facts sourced even inside an argument.
- Say what would change your mind, where you can.
