Editorial is more on making a stand in a certain situation in which you are not allowed to involve your personal idea, thoughts and perception on the matter. It is because you are not allowed to use the 1st person basis.. On the other hand Commentary is more on giving your personal perception and perspective on the situation.. :)

In standard academic writing, editorial and commentary styles of writing differ in several respects. Perhaps the most important is that an editorial takes a strong opinion-based stand on an issue that is typically controversial or at least being keenly discussed by others in the same social context. By contrast, a commentary may offer an opinion, but it is more detached and suggestive, thus less strong, than the typical editorial.

A news article should contain only facts about an event that is being reported on, while an editorial provides the author's opinion about a subject. A news article should be objective, while an editorial may be subjective.
When a reporter of news gives an opinion about the event (discusses their feelings, or make predictions, etc), it could be said that the reporter is editorializing the news. The reporter is no longer providing only an objective point of view, but are introducing a subjective point of view which could persuade others to think about the even from a subjective point of view.

An essay is basically any body of work that explains or develops a thesis to EITHER persuade the reader OR to inform the reader. An editorial is strictly to persuade the reader to like one position over the other.

An editorial is a piece of writing intended to promote an opinion, often within the pages of a newspaper. A newspaper contains many pieces of factual writing giving details of current events, usually less than a week old.

The name "Op-Ed" is derived from "opposite the editorial page." The Op-Ed pages feature opinion pieces written by outside contributors.
