Editorials can be written conversationally, include quotes, and can even profile an individual. Editorials, like columns, are really news stories with strong opinions. Check out today’s editorial on voter registration, a topic that is often presented in a preachy (screechy?) manner. Ours was much more engaging. Plus, we included historical perspective (the 1992 elections), and reasons one needs to register and vote — to be a solid citizen, really. The strength of this editorial, though, is that it profiles someone who feels passionately about this topic. Good job.
