[Vision2020] How About It, Gang?

[Sue Hovey]

I was asked to apply a number of years ago and thought about it, but I spend all my working hours reading and editing teacher graduate papers now and really don't have the time.  But I would love to see some hard hitting writer take on Iverson, et al.

  Right. Ihave sneaking hunch that those of us who a bit more left than Nate wants will get short shrift. I would "apply" but hink it's likely pointless. Besides, I'm not  a great witer, just a pissed off inhabitant of Latah county.....

      We need another media voice, guys.
       
      How about firing up "Love Letters to Moscow", Linda? 
       
      How about tidbits from the Palouse Pundit, Nick?
       
      How about some anti-establishment from Auntie Establishment, Joan?
       
      I know you guys have voices.  Courtney, Farris, and Wilson are complaining about them all the time.  How about putting those voices to pen and ink, and giving us something to smile about on Tuesdays?

      Who else has something to say? 
      There's plenty for potential columnists to work with 

       
      The editorial page of a daily newspaper can be a lively place, and ours is no different.
      With all the issues on the plate of public discourse, there never seems to be a shortage of things to talk about. When you branch beyond the boundary of the Palouse, the two legislatures can provide ample fodder for commentary, a presidential election cycle always makes for opinions galore, and the current administration - it could be said - has generated a thought or two from those who might not see eye to eye with their policies.
       
      And there's always Larry Craig if it's a really slow day for opinions.
      There aren't too many slow days.
       
      That makes this a perfect time for someone who wants to join the Daily News' roster of regular columnists.
      There are occasional changes in the editorial lineup, and this is such a time. Judith Brown has concluded her tour as a columnist with a plan to run for public office. We're shifting our "Reality-Based Lefty," Chuck Pezeshki from his spot every other Tuesday into every other weekend edition. 
       
      That opens up a Tuesday spot for another columnist on the opinion page. 
       
      Our current crew of columnists cover an array of topics and generate plenty of community feedback through letters to the editor and comments section of DNews.com.
       
      For those who want to become regular contributors on the Op/Ed page, here's how you go about applying. Prepare two or three sample columns of 700 words or less. 
       
      We prefer those who can offer commentary on local issues, but everything is up for grabs. 
      Once you've put together a couple of 700-word columns, submit those samples and a cover letter of introduction to my attention at the either the Moscow or Pullman office of the Daily News. Or you can submit your material via e-mail to the address listed at the end of this column. 
       
      And no newspaper query would be complete without a deadline because, well, everything with newspapers has a deadline. Your material must be turned in by 5 p.m. Friday, April 4.
