Pitch us an editorial topic about your student group

We think the space typically reserved for cracking punny jokes in our Casual Fridays series can go to a better cause — so we’re offering it to you.

Until now, The Pitt News has published daily editorials based on what we internally deem to be the most important story of the day. But a campus dialogue is not productive when it’s one-sided. We’re not all-seeing, and sometimes a story affecting countless people gets smothered by the perpetual news cycle.

The Pitt News wants to partner with underrepresented student groups to guide us through the issues we might otherwise miss. If you have something affecting your community that others could stand to learn from or a perspective that is often overlooked, we want to meet with your group’s leaders to better shape our editorial discussions.

These special guest editorials will appear in the paper every other Friday and include a tag crediting your organization for contributing the week’s topic. Open a dialogue at your next meeting about what the rest of Pitt should know about you.

Send our Opinions section an email at tpnopinions@gmail.com for more information about pitching topics. Please include the names of your organization and its executive board members along with a brief summary of your idea.
