An opinion piece is an article, published in a newspaper or magazine, that mainly reflects the author's opinion about the subject.
Opinions are: o editorials, o op-eds, o columns.
Editorial o An editorial, leading article (UK) or leader (UK), is an opinion piece written by the editorial board or publisher of a newspaper, magazine or any other written document. Editorials may be supposed to reflect the opinion of the periodical. In Australian and major United States newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Boston Globe, editorials are often classified under the heading "opinion". o Typically, a newspaper's editorial board evaluates which issues are important for their readership to know the newspaper's opinion about.
o Editorials are typically published on a special page dedicated to them, called the editorial page, which often also features letters to the editor from members of the public; the page opposite this page is called the op-ed page and frequently contains opinion pieces by writers not directly affiliated with the publication. However, a newspaper may choose to publish an editorial on the front page. In most English language press, this is done only rarely and on topics considered especially important; however, it is more common in some European countries such as Spain, Italy and France.

It is often written by a freelance writer. Unlike editorials, which are usually unsigned and written by editorial board members, they go under a name. Op-eds are opinion articles that provide readers with diverse opinions on news issues. Most op-eds relate to an issue in recent news. They may provide a fresh opinion or suggest a course of action. They are essentially opinion pieces, yet op-eds are balanced with factual information.
