I find that readers mix up these terms, and it s not surprising that they do they are not often defined. So here goes. A news story is just that it is meant to reveal, explain and/or describe. News stories are produced by reporters, who seek to present all sides, and aren t permitted to take sides. Fairness is their aim, always. The Opinion section contains commentary produced by a separate staff. An editorial is written by a member of the editorial board; it is the expressed opinion of that board, which consists of me, Deputy Opinion Editor Rich Manieri; Managing Editor Tom Murse; Community Liaison Barbara Hough Roda; editorial writer Paula Wolf; and community board members Evelyn Albert, Carl Pike and Stuart Wesbury. An op-ed, or column, is commentary written either by a syndicated columnist or a local person. It can be up to 750 words. A letter to the editor is written by a member of the community; it is limited to 300 words. Source: Print newspaper is called LNP.
