When you editorialize, you express your viewpoint even when it is not acceptable. The term "editorialize" was coined in 1856, and it means "to include ideas into factual accounts," from editorial, which means "written by an editor," and the Latin root editor, which means "one who puts forth." Literary editorialization occurs in literature and media that are intended to appeal to readers or listeners. It involves the expression of an opinion on a subject beyond what is necessary to report facts. For example, in order to persuade their audience to vote for their candidate, political editors often write articles that contain opinions expressed as fact. Journalists should be aware of this type of writing so they do not come across as biased. There are two types of literary editorialization: expository and persuasive. In an expository article, the writer reports information about a topic without expressing an opinion about it. This type of writing is useful when you want to give readers information they can understand. An example of an expository essay would be a news article that reports on recent events related to science or history. In a persuasive essay, the writer expresses an opinion about a subject before presenting information about it. This type of writing is useful when you want to convince your audience of something. A speech written in a persuasive style could argue that eating vegetables is good for your health while providing only limited evidence to support this claim. Articles written in a persuasive style may use logic and evidence to support their points of view.
