Editorials are pieces which express opinions, and they can come from many
different sources. There are editorials that express the views of the
publication, and there are guest editorials that express the views of
people
who have standing in the community to talk about a specific issue.


Juan,

I guess you didn't reach for your cheap-ass dictionary to look up the word,
editorial, did you?

While you might find editorials and commentaries on an "Editorial Page", an
editorial is strictly defined.

editorial - 1) An article in a publication expressing the opinion of its
editors or publishers. 2) A commentary on television or radio expressing the
opinion of the station or network.
(American Heritage Dictionary)


From your words, it sounds like you are more than comfortable with the word,
editorialize.

editorialize - 2) to present an opinion in the guise of an objective report.
(American Heritage Dictionary)


The modern convention is to make an obvious distinction between an editorial
and commentary.
