An editorial is a short essay that shares an individual's opinion on a current event or social issue. The
goal of a good editorial is to persuade the reader to consider your perspective and change their opinion.
Editorials often focus on controversial issues with widely different viewpoints.
Professors assign editorials in class to determine your skill at persuasive writing, while writers at
newspapers and magazines create editorials to make a claim or create discussion about their
publication. Your editorial should make a clear argument that reflects your stance and appeals to your
audience.
Types of editorials
While the goal of all editorials is to share an opinion and persuade an audience, there are editorial style
variations. The different types depend upon the goal of the article and can be divided into four
categories:
Whether you are writing for a class assignment or a major publication, understanding the goal of your
editorial will help guide your tone and the direction of your argument. After determining the category of
your editorial, you can begin to write confidently to influence an audience.
Parts of an editorial
Although people write editorials on a wide range of topics, most have the same basic components. All
editorials need a clear stance and details to support that perspective. Good persuasive articles have the
following elements:
Introduction: The introduction builds a reader's interest in the topic and gives an overview of
the issue.
Argument: The argument presents your opinion along with reasons why the audience should
agree with you.
Evidence: The evidence supports your argument with facts, research or anecdotes.
Counterargument: All editorial writers should establish credibility by presenting a fair review of
the perspectives involved. While a praising editorial might be mostly positive with a brief
reference to an issue, a critical editorial needs to address the opposing perspective directly.
Refutation: After sharing the counter-argument with a reader, the writer must explain why that
argument is not accurate or relevant. Refuting the counterargument allows you to promote your
point of view while still seeming fair.
Conclusion: In the final paragraph of your editorial, summarize your point of view and remind
the reader why they should care about this issue.
