The Media Edge: How to write opinion articles that editors will actually use: Ragged Edge May/June 1999 Mary Johnson is editor of Ragged Edge. On March 17, the opinion page of the Chicago Tribune ran an article by Not Dead Yet's Diane Coleman. "It's Not Compassion, It's Contempt," ran the headline. The article discussed why many disability rights activists are opposed to assisted suicide. That same day, The San Diego Tribune Union carried an opinion article focusing on disability rights as well. Headlined "Redefining the nature of disabilities and needs," this one focused on issues underlying the Cedar Rapids Supreme Court opinion which had recently been announced. This op-ed article was written by Bill Stothers and me as part of our ASAP! project work. It's likely by the time you're reading this article that you've seen an opinion piece about the Olmstead case--written by an ADAPT member. ADAPT's Jennifer Burnett worked hard in March to get ADAPT members to develop opinion pieces to send to newspapers to coincide with the April 21 oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the Olmstead case.
