headline and the accompanying article present a judgment on the event.
They take a position on the issue in the news, taking a clear position on an
issue is what distinguishes opinion articles form other articles in the
newspaper.
Sometimes opinion pages present opposing views on the same news
event: ”Bad Planning on Education Policy” one article may read, while
another may say “New Education Bill a Good First Step.” This helps
readers see both sides of an issue and perhaps clarify their own ideas on
the topics.
Editorials have:
• Introduction, body and conclusion like other news stories.
• An objective explanation of the issue, especially complex issues.
• A timely news angle.
• Opinions from the opposing viewpoint that refute directly the
same issues the writer addresses.
Four Types of Editorials Will:
1. Explain or interpret: Editors often use this type of editorials to explain
the way the newspaper covered a sensitive or controversial subject.
School newspapers may explain new school rules or a particular
student-body effort.
2. Criticize: These editorials constructively criticize actions, decisions or
situations while providing solutions to the problem identified.
Immediate purpose is to get readers to see the problem, not the
solution.
3. Persuade: Editorials of persuasion aim to immediately see the
solution, not the problem. From the first paragraph, readers will be
encouraged to take a specific, positive action. Political endorsements
are good examples of editorials of persuasion.
4. Praise: these editorials commend people and organizations for
something done well. They are not as common as the other three.
After-reading task 1: What’s the opinion? Analyze an editorial or other
opinion article by answering these questions:
• Who wrote the article? Does it express the opinion of an individual or of
the newspaper? How do you know?
