OPINION WRITING:

Picture
**Editorial writing is usually a unique mixture of fact and opinion. 

 The subject matter of an editorial commonly concerns a current issue that affects a

particular demographic that strongly support or reject it. Editors of newspapers and

other publications use their newspapers as a forum to express their views and try to

influence the opinions of the readership. Unlike other parts of a news publication

that are dedicated to providing balanced, unbiased accounts of newsworthy events, an editorial is meant to

be biased, somewhat insightful and often includes
persuasive writing
techniques.

Editorial Writing Tips:

Writing the Editorial:
The editorial page of a newspaper is where fact and opinion mix.             
Editorials are written about current issues affecting many people and are often written to influence readers.
 
Editorials often include suggestions on how to solve or correct a perceived problem.
 
An editorial is the official view of the paper and therefore must be well thought out. Editorial writers may consult with politicians, business leaders and members of the community before presenting an informed opinion.
Daily newspapers usually run more than one editorial on the page and the editorials are usually not signed or have  a by-line. ( The byline is a short phrase or paragraph that indicates the name of the author of an article)
 
As you read an editorial you may notice that the writer is giving his or her opinion without making an “I” statement such as, I think or I believe. The writer’s opinion is cleverly blended into statements that sometimes read like facts. Remember, the purpose of the editorial is to persuade you to support the writer’s view on the topic.
