Summary of the Text	In the article titled "A Matter of Opinion: What an Editorial Does," the author explains the purpose and function of an editorial. An editorial is a form of journalistic writing that presents the opinion of the publication's editorial board or the editor on a specific issue or topic. It serves to express a perspective, provide analysis, and advocate for a particular stance. Unlike news articles that aim to present facts objectively, editorials are subjective and aim to influence readers' opinions. The author emphasizes that editorials should be based on research, factual evidence, and logical reasoning to support their arguments effectively. They can contribute to public discourse, spark debate, and shape public opinion. The article highlights the importance of editorials in promoting critical thinking and engaging readers in matters of significance.
