Chapt 11 Editorial Notes: Part 2 Journalism
70
Editorials that persuade:
• an editorial that offers specific solutions to a perceived problem.
• Unlike evaluation editorials, these kinds expect immediate action rather than the achievement of a general or long-term solution.
• These offer compromising solutions when there is controversy.
Editorials that evaluate:
* an editorial that focuses on actions or situations that the editors view as being wrong or in need of improvement.
• This style of criticism must be constructive.
• Be positive and offer solutions.
Editorials that explain
- An editorial that attempts to interpret or inform rather than to argue a point of view.
• These interpret facts: elimination of an intramural program, change in the grading system, sudden departure of a faculty member.
Editorial Cartoons
• Editorial cartoons can be a powerful form of expression – they can grab the attention of readers in a single glance.
• Many fail to get the message across and are misunderstood.
• An effective way to get the point across is to pair the cartoon with an editorial.
Organize in four steps, in any order:
• 1. State the subject and your position on the subject in the introduction.
• 2. Discuss the opposing points of view.
• 3. Prove your position with supporting details.
• 4. Draw a conclusion.
• No matter how the steps are taken, the key is to make the editorial both logical and compelling.
Editorials
• An editorial needs to tell the reader something that would not be discussed in a straight news story.
• Requires careful research and accuracy.
