In the age of citizen journalism and when anyone can post anything on the Internet, some news journals shy away from featuring opinion content, but not the Chicago Tribune. On its website, this newspaper contains a wide variety of articles which are actually opinion pieces from several Tribune staff members. The topics range from local and national news to sports and arts and entertainment. These also include guest commentaries, cartoons and editorials. For a newspaper as nationally-recognized as the Chicago Tribune, it is important to maintain its contact with readers, which are able to send letters, and provide freedom of speech to its employees.
The articles which appear on the main 'opinions' opening page deal with either local or national news. Some examples are those which appear in the photo above. Shortly afterwards, you find editorial cartoons, particularly from other news journals as well. Later, you find guest commentators which are part of the Tribune staff and they write about their personal views on any topic. I believe this is a unique part of the Chicago Tribune because it provides it with a certain degree of connection with their readers in a very unique way different from other newspapers.
