The Quiz: What does “op-ed” mean?
Opinion editorial
Opposite the editorial page
Odd edits
Open essays
Contrary to popular belief, “op-ed” actually stands for “opposite the editorial page.” This moniker helped distinguish articles that were solely the opinion of the author — whether celebrities, politicians, or other political commentators — rather than any official editorial from the newspaper itself.
The correct answer to this quiz is Opposite the editorial page.
