OtherWords
OtherWords is a free editorial service published by the Institute for Policy Studies. Through OtherWords, we’re able to provide millions of readers in America’s heartland with intelligent commentary on the issues that impact us all.
Each week, we publish a package of op-eds and distribute them to readers, editors, and publishers through our website and newsletter. Each year, hundreds of newspapers and websites use our high quality, publication-ready work.
We believe that strong social movements need informed citizens. But between a consolidated, corporate-controlled mass media and a deafening social media echo chamber, it’s gotten harder than ever to have these conversations, especially in smaller communities with few local media options.
Through OtherWords, we’re able to provide millions of readers in America’s heartland with intelligent commentary on the issues that impact us all. Through the trusted local papers that use our service, we reach readers in red, blue, and purple states alike with well-written, timely commentaries on the national issues that affect their lives.
