I am doing a project and I was unable to finish my notes so if anyone would be kind enough to tell me what they are I've narrowed it down to an AP (Assosiated Press), a Syndicated column, an Editorial. I'm not a 100% sure on what these are so if you would be kind enough to tell me the definition of these I would be very greatful.

Well, first, here are the definitions:

Associated Press - a news service that writes articles that can then be reprinted by any of its subscribing newspapers. News and photos from AP are generally described as coming "off the wire."

Syndicated Column - a column written by one person that is run in several different newspapers.

Editorial - An opinion piece written by newspaper staff that represents the officially agreed-upon stance taken by that paper. (The op-eds, short for "opposite editorials", that generally appear on the next page are written by guest writers or columnists.)

Having those definitions, I think you can figure out that a horoscope is usually a syndicated column (several papers will run a horoscope written by one person). I hope this is helpful!
