Editorials are short, persuasive essays that express the opinions of the editor or editors of a publication. The classic editorial appears on the editorial page or in the opinion section of a newspaper, or is otherwise clearly marked as being opinion. Unlike a syndicated or guest column, the editorial traditionally has no byline, though it is usually written by a single person. More newspapers today have bylined editorials. A byline for an article is the writer's name and title or other term, such as "editor," "staff writer," or "guest columnist." At a small newspaper, the editor-in-chief may write all the editorials. At a large newspaper, editorial positions are decided upon by a team known as the editorial board. Traditionally, the editorial was written in the first person plural, a style called the editorial "we." However, most editorials today do not use the first person plural. |
