Column writing
When discussing news coverage,
the term "column" refers to
compositions that focus on
particular topics and may have
single,double, or seven columns
as well as a vertical page divide
for figures.
 Column writing allows for a more
personal and subjective approach to
journalism, as it provides a platform
for the columnist to share their
thoughts, analysis, and commentary
with readers.
 These columns typically
express the columnist's
viewpoint on a wide range of
topics, including politics,
social issues, culture, sports,
and more.
Columns offer a rare platform for a variety
of content, from unique to philosophical,
and usually feature the writer's photo and byline.
They typically appear in the publication
and might be subject-oriented, expressing
a writer's personality, humor, conclusion,
or perspectives.
