Editorials

I've linked a couple more editorials for you, as reference points. Pay attention to how each of these pieces meets the criteria outlined for you on p. 312 of your book and discussed in class.

Here is one about the rape crisis in Liberia, from the NY Times, which seems to serve as an editorial that explains.

Here is one Rick Reilly wrote about his day with Kobe Bryant. What type of editorial is this? What makes it different from some of the others we've read?

This one, also featuring Mr. Bryant, is about how athletes use the media, and what effect it has on the press. 

Finally, this piece, from the Chicago Tribune editorial board, offers praise to Notre Dame for their much-publicized invitation to President Obama to deliver their commencement address.
