editorial boards

Newspaper opinion committees

Editorial boards are groups of senior editors and writers at newspapers or magazines who collectively determine the publication's official positions on issues.

They write unsigned editorials representing the institution's voice rather than any individual's: The editorial board endorsed the incumbent mayor.

Membership typically includes the editor-in-chief and opinion section leaders.

Board decisions often influence endorsements during elections.
