The Gateway Opinion Pitches

May 28, 2019

Take a look at some super snazzy pitches!

Fresh pitches, get your pitches here!

Hi everyone! First of all, I would like to thank everyone who took pitches from last week. I'm so excited to be working with all of you and reading your writing! All I have to say is keep up the good work!As you probably know by now, since we only have one meeting a month during the spring and summer, there is less opportunity to give you pitches in person. However, with this handy-dandy email, I can send them out to you as often as I like! I'll be sending out shorter pitch lists each week between our monthly meetings; that way, if you want to write for us but are plum out of ideas, there are always a few waiting! As usual, though, if you have a pitch idea you want to write on, send it on up! I love hearing your ideas.If you want to write one of the articles in this email, great! Just reply with which one you would like and what your take is on it. If you would like to contact me but don't have my information, that is also not a problem! You can email me right here at [email protected] 

Feminist professor and inspiration, beloved by all, passes away at 79

Recently, the University of Alberta lost a shining jewel from its crown. Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour, originally born in Scotland, worked at the U of A not only as a professor and dean of diversity in the Faculty of Science, but as a champion for female faculty members on campus. Her loss means a great deal not just to U of A, but the STEM fields as a whole.

June 7 is National Donut Day!

I would like this article to be short and sweet, like a donut! Preferably 300-350 words, give us your opinion on the sweet round cakes which never cease their torment of Homer Simpson. Do you love donuts? Hate them? Perhaps you feel strongly enough to write a ballad about the sweet curves and flavourful jelly fillings? This would be a really fun article for a volunteer to take on!

The Oilers announced their new coach!

If you're like me, an Oilers fan until the bitter end, you know that the end

is

often bitter. Many fans have blamed the Oilers' consistently garbage playing on the coaches. What do you think of the new coach? Do you think their problem is the coach at all? Let us know!

I hope to see you all in my inbox taking some of these sweet and spicy pitches!
