In the Courier, editorials also are sometimes written by the publisher or owner of the newspaper. They represent the opinion of the Courier's editorial board, which is listed at the top of the page. They are unsigned because they represent the opinion of the board, and not solely that of any one of its members. It should be noted that the Courier's View is simply an opinion, and like any other opinion it can be right or wrong. It is open to challenge via letters to the editor, as are all other opinions on the page.
Columns are also opinion pieces.
The Courier buys columns from several syndicated writers whose opinions vary widely. The Courier's editorial board does not always agree with these opinions, but considers them thought-provoking. Syndicated columnists can be easily recognized by the prominent play given to their names on the editorial page. In addition to the syndicated columnists, the Courier frequently publishes other opinion pieces on many different public issues. They come from various sources, from the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post wire service to think tanks to individual writers and organizations.
