Opposing Views

Opposing Views

Opposing Views is an American website where experts debate topics ranging from autism and child care to abortion and capital punishment.[1] It was founded by Internet entrepreneur Russell Fine.[2]

Among its strongest proponents has been tech guru Andrew Keen, who described the site as "convincing proof that Web 2.0's cult of amateur content is rapidly going out of fashion" and that "the internet's new 'new thing' is expertise."[3]

"Expert" contributors of original content to the site include Zeyno Baran, Joshua Marquis, Wesley J. Smith, Elliot Dorff, Jacob M. Appel, Shazzie, and Tibor Machan.
