How opinion works here

Wisconsin Gazette labels commentary so readers can distinguish it from reported news. Publication indicates that an argument merits consideration, not that every position is endorsed by the site.

Start with a clear claim

Readers should know what the writer is arguing and why it matters.

Show the supporting record

Evidence, public documents and relevant context should be identifiable.

Separate fact from judgment

Interpretation is presented as interpretation rather than disguised as reporting.

Correct material errors

Substantive updates should be made clearly and without hiding the change.
