The best debate articles touch a nerve in the university bubble. They are topical and present a strong argument. Too often student opinion pieces ask a couple of rhetorical questions and then chicken out of making a decision on an issue.

Get people relevant to an issue to write a debate piece – it’s the easiest commission you’ll make. If arts funding is cut, get the head of the society to write on it.

Remember to keep debate articles short and to a point.

Be careful not to overlap with features – if you are just speculating on a subject then you’d be better off finding out the truth and doing a feature.
