"People are citing the Huffington Post as often as The New York Times as often as Breitbart News — that's the world we live in today."

The relationship between opinion writers and how their work relates to the newspapers they're employed by can be a complicated, nuanced and often misunderstood topic. Podcast Editor Ryan Nguyen interviews opinion writer Leslie Selcer on how she goes about writing her opinion articles, why she says opinion writing is a form of journalism and the meaning by her Twitter username, "didactic_hag." She also discusses theories of white intellectualism, why she always interrogates objective reporting to choose high quality sources and how, sometimes, subjective feelings can be objective fact.
