Editorial
An editorial page in newspapers is an opportunity for readers to gain insight into the mindset of the newspaper and its editorial staff. It is the most interactive page in the newspaper as it contains diverse opinions, including those of the editorial staff and the editor, as well as space for readers to express their opinions through letters to the editor. Editorials are typically focused on issues of public interest and convey the opinion of the editorial board.
Opinion
Opinions in newspapers are found on the editorial page, alongside the editorial itself. The voices and opinions of the general public are included in the letters to the editor section. Contributors to the editorial page do not cover news stories to prevent potential bias due to their known viewpoints. Other sections of the newspaper, such as product reviews and movie critiques, also feature opinions.
