The articles appearing here differ from most news pieces in that they advocate a particular point of view, policy or other non-objective opinion. They may contain assertions that are controversial or non-factual and they usually don&#8217;t seek to be as unbiased and objective as true newspaper stories should &#8211; and must. Gazette editorials are found on this Op\/Ed section of a website to make it especially clear that <em><strong>something is an opinion<\/strong>, <\/em>rather than an objective news story.<br \/>\nSometimes, an entire newspaper will collectively print and endorse an editorial written by a staff member or a few staff members. For example, conservatives tend to deride the <em><strong>New York Times<\/strong> <\/em>because its editorials tend to espouse &#8220;liberal\/progressive&#8221; points of view. Conversely, progressives make similar claims about the <em><strong>Wall Street Journal<\/strong><\/em> However, the pure news content of both papers seeks to be objective.<\/p>\n<p>Other times, the Gazette will print editorial pieces written by a single individual who is credited with its authorship. In the latter case, the views of the author should not be construed to represent the views of the Gazette as a whole. Today, you can find editorials all over the Internet on various blogs and websites.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our opinion\/editorial, or Op-Ed Page is reserved for opinion pieces written by a Gazette journalist or a group of journalists.
