Times Op-Ed Columnist Fantasy Draft

How would you remake The New York Times op-ed page?
March 17, 2009

The hiring of Ross Douthat to the Times editorial page inspired us to contemplate how the Gray Lady might further invigorate its stable of opinion writers. The current lineup (Blow, Brooks, Cohen, Collins, Dowd, Friedman, Herbert, Kristof, Krugman, Rich) has had a nice run, but many think that it’s time for a change.

So, who would you like to see on the page, and why? Consider this to be CJR’s Ultimate Fantasy Op-Ed Page Draft. You can recommend individuals who would make a strong addition, mix and match current writers and new choices, or scrap the whole roster and propose your own dream team.

The Editors are the staffers of the Columbia Journalism Review.
