How does someone go about becoming a political columnist?
There's a lot of people who have opinions, but what about those of us who want to share them in writing? It's not even something I'd want to make a career out of or necessarily prioritize in my life, I just want to have a voice that fills the deep void in media wherein the opposing opinion is becoming increasingly absent.
1) I'm not a completely shitty writer, and I like to think that I have enough self-awareness to know this
2) I have at least decently well informed opinions -- even so, I would never glibly opine about bullshit I don't know about -- I can into research, datum, etc.
Do I start with the local papers? Email pieces to small online journals? Barge into the campus media studio and demand someone print my work Kaczynski style? What do /lit/?

Start a blog. If you can update it with a reasonable periodicity, and the content isn't complete shit, then I think you can apply for job as freelancer in a small news site even if you don't have a large following.
