Introducing Viewpoints

Welcome to Viewpoints, the Opinion Department’s weekend newsletter. It will appear in your inbox weekly to highlight editorials, columns, cartoons, guest essays and letters that defined the week. Are you a longtime Newsday reader thinking the Viewpoints name looks familiar? You’re right – it shares a name with the newspaper’s long-running Sunday Viewpoints section. 

This week the editorial board weighed on the Hempstead charter school controversy, featured a guest essay by a local environmental leader questioning Rep. Lee Zeldin, invited readers to evaluate President Trump's first 100 days and more.
