The op-ed section of the newspaper is unique in that it allows experts to articulate their opinions regarding salient issues without editorial interference. The current study builds upon previous research on the op-ed through the analysis of the op-ed articles that were published in two European newspapers during the Egyptian revolution of 2011. The content analysis focused on the identity of the op-ed contributors, their use of sources, and their selection of frames as highlighted in their opinion articles. The results of the study indicate that the majority of contributors were American newspaper columnists and that the op-eds in the two newspapers focused on similar issue frames but discussed them from different perspectives.
