Your Opinion

If you’re visiting PressReader for the very first time, you might miss the wealth of discussions happening in the community. So, we’ve made it easy for you to see what’s going on with Trending Opinions. These will show you the most recent opinions made and shared on PressReader.

Opinions are similar to hashtags but they take the form of a position or statement. They’re ideas that you feel strongly about that can be attached to many different stories on PressReader. If you believe, for example, that “Education is a basic right”, then you might attach it to stories as diverse as girls being barred from school, or the high cost of secondary education. It’s meant to bring together a large group of people who feel the same way. Imagine the power of connecting people who share the same values to issues in their own backyards!

To find trending opinions, just swipe right in the Home Feed. The Trending Opinions will appear almost immediately to ask whether you agree with any of them. You can click on an opinion to see more of the discussion, or tap on the +1 to support it without leaving your Home Feed.

When you support an opinion, you’ll see updates from it added to your Home Feed. The updates will appear as the next article in your Home Feed whenever someone adds the opinion to an article or post. So you’ll see posts on discussions you care about as they’re happening, and will have the opportunity to jump into an active conversation on issues that you care about.

In the Home Feed, you can quickly navigate to an opinion that matters to you. All of your opinions are added to the menu on the left side of the screen. Just tap on one of these to see the latest discussions and articles, and jump in!

Opinions that you contribute to, share and actively participate in will help you earn status towards becoming an Opinion Leader. When you achieve Opinion Leader status, you’ll find new tags on your Channel page, just below your name.
