Editorials or leading articles are articles written by senior editorial stuff or publisher of a newspaper or magazines. Editorials are often published unsigned although the name of editor is known to the reader ( the names are listed in the newspaper ).
These types of articles are usually published on a special page called the editorial page. The articles are long and opinionated, they express the author's point of view on a particular topic. On the same editorial page, letters to the editor, are featured ( letters from members of the public).
The typical topics of editorials are current affairs ( political or economic ), or current events happening in their surrounding ( elections, important meetings, sport events). The editors put forth their views on a topic they feel strong about. They help the readers gain a better understanding of a particular subject.
