Answer 1

Writing an editorial is different from writing a news story. Where in a news story, the facts are prized, and opinions unwelcome, in an editorial, the piece is based on opinion with facts as support. Some editorials are written by columnists and others by newspaper editors. Each newspaper has their own system: some editorials don't receive a byline at all. Writing an editorial is a privilege and a service to readers.
