In 1999 the "Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism" [0] was instituted with an endowment from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

Who is "Eric Breindel" ... well Wikipedia includes this, as his legacy:

"In 1988, Spy magazine ran a feature that depicted Breindel as a ruthlessly career-driven opportunist whose career was effectively ended by his drug bust"

And regardless of accuracy, I consider this to be an excellent definition for whatever "Opinion Journalism" must be.
