In the analyzing editorial and opinion pieces we get to read different articles and directly after we analyze and compare the articles. The piece started off with information about editorial and opinion pieces. Editorials have been a large part of newspapers and magazines since the beginning of the creation of newspapers, which later grew into the opinion pieces, which are very similar to editorials. This has become even more prevalent since the invention of the internet and its wide spread use around the world. The main goal of the opinion piece is to help communicate to the public about specific issues and actions taken around the world. Its goal is to also connect with different groups and communities displaying a desired goal.
Writers also have to make sure they know who their audience is and appeal to them. But they also are known to shape how people feel. The author tries to persuade the audience to feel a certain way about the topic and possibly shift their values and beliefs. This is done by appealing to both intellect and emotions. The best way for editorial and opinion pieces to have an effect on the reader is to relate to them in an intellectual but more importantly in an emotional way.
