editorial column

Newspaper opinion section

An editorial column is a regular feature in a newspaper or magazine where a writer—often identified by name and photo—offers opinions, analysis, or commentary rather than straight news reporting.

Unlike unsigned editorials that represent the publication's official stance, a column reflects the individual writer's voice and perspective: Her editorial column runs every Sunday.
