Above in the link are the requirements to have your Guest Essay visible to online subscribers of, “The New York Times,” that clearly states that one cannot counterpoint another essay. Likely, to avoid political debates.
If you ever submitted an essay whether it got posted or not, I’m interested in your experience.
Thanks again,
