describe the kind of topic matter one must choose for an editorial?

Question

topic for an editorial

Answer 1

It depends on what the venue is. But in general, try to pick a topic that people are interested in - a hot topic that people are arguing about is even better. Say, for example, that it's a school paper, and everyone's talking about something that happened last week at the dance. You might pick a side, think up some good arguments for your position, and present your opinion on the matter.
If you can get away with it, in general the hotter and the more controverisal the topic, the better.

Answer 2

The topic will be one that causes you to stir uneasily, that if you don't react, public acceptance of the topic will alter the world, or your neighborhood, in a way you won't like. Gun control, abortion, re-zoning, creationism, an election, legislation, dress codes...are some examples of topics that might get you going. Review current events and decide on those whose outcomes will affect you the most. Then write the argument (editorial) to set right the potential wrong.

Answer 3

An editorial topic must be very current, about an issue of the day. It must be of interest and vital to the audience of the publication. It should have a moral dimension, and inform about and recommend the best interests of the reader. It must immediately catch and hold the reader's attention, and persuade them so that they must see the point.

Answer 4

Editorials are opinion pieces where you discuss an issue and your views on that issue.
Editorials often concern current events, but they can encompass any issue about which you have an opinion, which you think will interest your audience.
