Talk:Opinion piece

message: The world is a big place, the USA is one country, and only the third largest by population at that. Much of the content, almost all, of this article should be moved to the article on the American press.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.153.172 (talk) 18:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I heard bill gates is the richest man that such an effort might be better suited for wikipedia. Of course, the problem is that it violates nearly every wikipedia policy I can think of. NPOV, which is supposed to be a "non-negotiable" policy, for example. Of the 4 key policies listed on the policies and guidelines page, it would violate 2 and would doubtless lead to the violation of a 3rd (respect other authors), and goes on to violate, by my count, 3 more policies and guidelines. Perhaps it would be better outside of wikipedia and in a sister project, like wikibooks or wiktionary. But I have no idea how to propose something like this, so I thought I'd just drop the idea. Done. --2tothe4 19:23, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  wikitorial? 

message: My understanding was that an "editorial" is a non-bylined piece that represents the culmulative, official position of the entire editorial staff.  But an "op-ed" piece is by-lined (i.e., credited to a specific author) and represents his opinion and his alone.  Traditionally, editorials are on the left-side pages of a newspaper and op-eds are on a right-side page -- although that isn't universally true.  Is this really the case?  Should such a distinction be in this article?  Joe 16:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this can easily be resolved by providing a fuller explanation of each.  For now, I propose splitting the content of the page into sections.  The term op-ed can also apply to a guest opinion column placed in, or solicited an opinion page editor. Jkaplan 06:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I attempted a rewrite of the opening paragraph to reflect the distinction.  The terms are used confusingly throughout the article--e.g., a line about "the editorial page" of the New York Times actually lists its op-ed columnists.  Also the term "opinion page" is used frequently, but not defined; it's equivalent to "op-ed page," although, as we know, the "op" isn't short for "opinion". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.226.240.147 (talk) 16:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I support the idea of giving the 'op-ed' its own page; they're two different animals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.42.213.167 (talk) 10:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editorial vs. Op-Ed? 

message: *The American Society of Magazine Editors has developed a list of editorial guidelines, to which a majority of magazine editors commonly adhere.
I checked the reference and the "editorial content" they are referring to is in distinction to advertising content. They are not using the term "editorial" to mean opinion pieces but rather non-advertising material. Unless someone object I'm going to remove the sentence. -Will Beback · † · 06:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Right now, the first paragraph says that an editorial is a piece of writing that is usually placed on the opposite page of the editorial, which sounds strange to my ears. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.70.178.47 (talk) 15:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why do we have an editorial page? Is it sop editors can give their opinion and we can see then agree and disagree about what they are saying?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.50.159 (talk) 21:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editorial 

message: As a journalist and a member of an organization who's sole purpose is to separate news from editorializing I find that this page has vital information on this subject. Myraedison 00:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Myraedison reminds me of an important point. The rigid separation (at least in theory) between news and editorialising in the US press is not replicated here in the UK. It's taken as read that the tabloid press, in particular but not exclusively, will slant its news coverage according to the views of its editor/proprietor. This has always been the case, and most people don't consider it a bad thing in and of itself - they only dislike it when the views don't correspond to their own! 86.143.48.55 (talk) 04:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference 

message: I noticed that it's suggested that this be merged with the Editorial Page article. I think that's a good idea but I would recommend striking out the comment about the most common location for editorials, since I don't actually know of a paper in my area where that's true (I live in Chicago, checked the Trib and the Sun Times and the Red Eye as well as my own school newspaper, for which I am the Editorials section editor).
Further, this article is in serious need of cleanup. Editorials are different from Opinion pieces, this article reads like they are the same (an editorial has way more limitations, and it needs to be more then just an opinion, it needs to be an interpretation of this opinion relevant to current news, and of course, it can't be extremely biased or otherwise libelous). It's poorly structured and the like, with minimal sources for facts. Dylan (talk) 16:15, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
