      and subscribers, when publications try to convert subscribers into readers, they will often point to specific writers that the readers would be supporting

      My lukewarm take is that op-ed writers benefit from incorporating more original reporting into their columns and this is often at the root of nuclear bad takes

      ben smith isn't an "op-ed columnist" but he seems like a model of what a columnist can do when they pick up the phone (although to be fair i think david brooks and thomas friedman obviously do a ton of talking to people)

      Smith is among the best examples right now. But even looking at output from the same individual columnist, sometimes their best work is when they seek out and report on the stuff they're writing about and their worst is usually when they confront an obvious strawman

      i think i might go a little broader here and say that columns would be better if they were anchored to something other than the writer's own musing, whether that's reporting or deep research. (he says, somewhat self-interested)

      yeah, there's multiple ways to add to the conversation like oh I don't know, having read a lot of civil war history or something

      but one example of cross-ideological opinion reporting is it used to be a running joke that conservative events were like a party for left-wing bloggers. But that really helped their work and I wish more conservative writers attended left events w/ similar reporting approaches!

      It’s a way in which ideological/partisan media is incongruent - I know of plenty of lefties (and lefty outlets as a whole) who do deep reporting and make journalistic effort to understand the right and...many fewer conservative journalists/outlets that do the same for the left

      Worth recalling that Carlson's original pitch of Daily Caller was it would be like NY Times for the right, full of rigorous reporting. And look what happened.
