NY Times Adding 20 Online Op-Ed Writers

Finally, some new blood.

The New York Times is tired of people poking fun at its homogenous and insipid op-ed section, so it’s boosting it by 20. Online, at least. The Times has added 20 new op-ed writers, who will contribute regularly to the Times’ online Opinion Pages.

Notable additions to the op-ed section include Sandeep Jauhar, Roxane Gay, Jennifer Weiner, Mimi Swartz and Héctor Tobar.

These writers (and the others) are guaranteed to breathe fresh air into the Times’ stagnant op-ed section. That means, suddenly, we might actually be interested in reading it.
