  1. • Criticize or attack: If they criticize, they require suggestions for change. If you launch an attack against something, you must

    be impeccable in your charge. An attack is forceful; criticism does not have to be forceful, but it has to be held down with facts

    and suggestions for change.

    • Defend: Stand up for an individual or an institution that is under attack by society.

    • Endorse: But you must give solid reasons for your endorsement of a political candidate, an issue, or the reasons behind

    building a new gymnasium.

    • Compliment: Show evidence that the compliment is deserved. Do praise when warranted.

    • Instigate, advocate or appeal: To instigate editorially would mean that the newspaper intended to go on a crusade for something--improvements in the school study hall system, for example. Or you might advocate that this be accomplished by backing suggestions put out by a school committee that studied the problem. An appeal editorial might mean that you’d encourage people to donate to a school fund drive or vote for a tax levy increase.

    • Entertain: An entertaining editorial is good for the reader’s soul, but it should have a worthwhile point and should be written about something worth the reader’s time.

    • Predict: Support your predictions with fact.
