Editorials that Explain
Editorials that evaluate
Editorials that persuade
Editorials that call for action
Editorials that provoke discussion

Editorials that Explain

Are like expository essays
Attempt to interpret or inform rather than argue a point of view
The expression of opinion comes in the interpretation of facts
Often used on slow days when there isn’t much to say
Most effective when they explain what has taken place and why it is important

Editorials That Evaluate

Examines the pros and cons or positives and negatives of some issue, action or situation
Should indicate to reader that you have researched all sides of the issue before coming to a conclusion
Focus on actions or situations that the editorial board see as wrong or in need of improvement – or that are praiseworthy
Criticism should be constructive
Offer an alternative solution or course of action

Editorials That Persuade

Attempt to offer specific solutions to a problem
Seeks to get someone to do something
Can provide leadership in bringing about changes
Offers opportunity to suggest compromise

Editorials that Provoke Discussion

Encourages the community to have a conversation with itself about an issue or problem
Should lay out the issue and suggest points for readers to think about
Usually doesn’t have an opinion or ask people to do anything other than think
May be the first step before writing an editorial that asks people to do something

Editorials That Call for Action

Expect immediate action rather than an understanding of the situation
Should tell the reader the reasons they should do – or not do -- something
Should explain the impact those actions will have
Should tell why you believe this is important

How is the editorial page different?
The editorial page of the paper should begin where the rest of the paper leaves off.”

News stories
News stories seek to provide both sides of a story
News stories should be devoid of opinion
News stories seek to be objective
News stories present facts about events that have taken place

Editorial
Editorial writing is subjective
Editorials seek to present informed opinions
Seeks to single out issues for public discussion and examination
Seeks to influence public opinion

Sayira frankly speaking I wasn't well prepared for Journalism but by grace of Allah paper was so general and critical that I attempted it easily.I took help from 3 books;
1)By Abid Tehami
2)By Dr.Mehdi
3)By dr.Saleem(Book for B.A)

First of all see Most repeated questions;

Choose a topic,read it from all available books and make your own notes along with points so near exams you may find no difficulty in revising them.
