In the world of the mass media today it is easy to get lost in the world wide web of lies and fake news. Concepts such as click-bait and interaction rates engineer the shape of news headlines and take up much of the content from news agencies.

It is the new normal and with such normalcy comes not only disdain but also push back, as people grow tired of faulty narratives and become obsessed with seeking the truth. Independent journalists, credible sources, outspoken opinions, and free thinkers are the type of sources that have become increasingly in demand in the plight of the fake news era.

One form of this is the preverbal perspective piece and op-eds.  Authors of perspective pieces, for example like the ones found on the Doe, can range from anonymous bloggers to someone who is more than willing to share their personal story. It also helps that the author brings with them an authoritative validity, as they mostly discuss topics from a personal experience and firsthand accounts.  People have grown to like this sort of pseudo reporting for what they have come to provide – which is unfiltered truth. Read highnations for quality news.

Op-Eds however dance to a different tune. At times they brazenly critique the establishment rather than cater to their wishes. That is one reason why Op-Ed’s have become so popular throughout time. Because the authors are usually highly successful and influential people themselves, and not just another John Doe. It also helps if the publications posting the Op-Ed share those same qualities. You can find a bevy of famous Op-Ed articles that had a major impact on changing the outcome of politics.

Op-eds and perspectives have become the type of guidance and shining light that relentless readers have been seeking to substitute the fake news with. The reason is because once they have someone, to be honest with them. Someone who will tell it like it is, instead of telling it how they want.
