Here are 5 tips for writing a column: 1. Determine your topic or area of focus. Choose something you are passionate and knowledgeable about. 2. Use a casual, conversational tone. Express your unique perspective in a way that feels like you're talking to the reader. 3. Include timely, relevant examples and facts to support your opinions. Make it engaging and easy to understand. 4. Have a clear point of view but also leave room for discussion. Provide food for thought rather than just telling others what to think. 5. Write consistently, whether weekly or monthly, to build an audience. Stick to a regular publishing schedule so readers know when to expect your work.

the term "column" refers to
compositions that focus on
particular topics and may have

Column writing allows for a more
personal and subjective approach to
journalism, as it provides a platform
for the columnist to share their
thoughts, analysis, and commentary

These columns typically
express the columnist's
viewpoint on a wide range of
topics, including politics,
social issues, culture, sports,
and more.
Columns offer a rare platform for a variety
of content, from unique to philosophical,
and usually feature the writer's photo and byline.
