We all have opinions, but few if any ever wind up on the New York Times' influential and well-read op-ed page. Tonight, editors Thomas Feyer and David Shipley share the tricks of the trade on how to capture their attention as well as the country's. Expect the duo to explore in detail the effectiveness of past pieces in shaping policy and public opinion, as well as common mistakes would-be op-eders make and how to avoid them so your latest rant has a chance to become part of "all the news that's fit to print."
