Any former news organization people here? Several Op-Ed questions.

If someone submits an Op-Ed to more than one news group, do they check with other groups and automatically rule it out if they find out you did? (simultaneous submission is the term for this)

Does the person in charge of submissions actually read the paper or do they just look at the title and two sentences, then say yea or nay?

Some big sites say try not to hand in what you think will be a final draft because they want to be able to edit it to their news style, but maybe you draft isn't the best of quality, hence a draft, so they toss it as garbage writing, what do?

When examining Op-Eds, do you guys prefer personal stories? Calculated and collected essays? Hypothetical musings? What do you guys like best?

If you work/used to work at a site like Reuters, TIME Magazine, NPR, etc. Why do you guys make it so hard to submit Op-Eds? Sites like the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, etc. all have open solicitation pages. When I send a request for Op-Ed submissions people they never respond.

P.S. I'm simultaneously posting this because other threads have been seldom useful.
