Q: What is the best approach to write a column in a local paper A: Thanks for your e-mail. I will post your request next week and recommend you visit my message board and place the question there as well. I would recommend you create a few articles pertaining to health and wellness and the specific role of chiropractic, possibly via ergonomics, rehabilitation, conservative health management, etc and then pitch it to some newspapers for their Health Column. They should not be more than 300-400 words. Short and to the point. Call the paper and see if they have a health column and try to speak with the editor. Be prepared to send or e-mail some of the articles. If you wish to write some and reply back to me for some editing and feedback, I'd be more than happy to give you my two cents.
