Most guest columnists have expertise in the subjects and issues they are addressing, and the opinions expressed can be personal or representative of a group. Some columns are requested by Gazette opinion staff, but many are unsolicited. We evaluate the columns based on local relevance, quality and accuracy. Read more about our editorial process here.
