About this Event
Join us at Manny's on Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 6:00 PM to explore the art of writing op-eds from the San Francisco Chronicle's own Matt Fleischer!
We'll delve into the power of op-eds and how they can shape public opinion. We'll discuss the process of crafting a compelling argument, finding your unique perspective, and effectively communicating your ideas to a wide audience.
Whether you're an aspiring writer, a seasoned journalist, or simply interested in the world of opinion writing, this event is for you.
Matt Fleischer is The Chronicle's editorial page editor. He came to the paper from the L.A. Times, where he spent six years as senior digital editor of the Opinion team — writing, editing and collaboratively planning stories to resonate with an online audience.
Prior to joining The Times, Matthew was a staff writer for LA Weekly and an investigative reporter for the watchdog site Witness L.A., where his work helped expose the abuse and corruption in the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department that led to the convictions of Sheriff Lee Baca and Undersheriff Paul Tanaka for obstruction of justice.
His work has been honored by the Overseas Press Club Foundation and Investigative Reporters and Editors. When he’s not writing or editing, he’s wandering, usually by foot.
He can be reached at [email protected].
