We used to have Op-Ed sections in newspapers and they used to be literal sections, and lots of people would mail opinions in and hopefully make the cut, and in internet's not-quite-still-an-infant age, BBS used to be used to such an effect as a blog a lot of times, but nothing was ever on the scale of being able to easily broadcast your thoughts to the world unless you were significant enough
