The main use of editorials in newspapers is to allow the editors (people who proofread and choose which articles get in the paper) to express their opinions about something. Usually, they talk about something going on in the local, regional, state or international news. Sometimes, they respond to criticisms sent in by readers.

More and more often, it seems like writers and editors of newspapers, magazines, TV news shows etc. are interjecting their opinions and bias into all of the stories they tell, not just the editorials. It's getting harder all the time to tell what is actual fact and what is opinion or spin.

What is an unsigned editorial?

In most newspapers, there is an opinion page, where various columnists express their views on the issues of the day; these columnists have a by-line at the beginning of the article (it's called a "by-line" because it tells who wrote the opinion piece-- for example, By Joseph Williams. By Heather Donnelly). There is also an editorial page, where the editor expresses the official viewpoint of that newspaper. It may be about a national issue like gun control, or a local issue like building a casino in town. Sometimes, the editorial page editor gives his or her name, but at other times, the editorial will not have the name of the person (or persons) who wrote it. When an editorial does not say the name of who wrote it, that is called an "unsigned editorial."
