Why editorial page is important?
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.
