Editorials are featured in many newspapers and magazines, usually written by the senior editorial staff or publisher of the publication. Additionally, most print publications feature an editorial, or letter from the editor, sometimes followed by a Letters to the Editor section. The American Society of Magazine Editors has developed a list of editorial guidelines, to which a majority of American magazine editors commonly adhere. Most editorial pieces take the form of an essay or thesis, using arguments to promote a point of view. .
Leading editorial pages
Arguably the most prominent editorial page in the United States is that of the New York Times, which features columnists Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Frank Rich, Bob Herbert, Gail Collins and Nicholas D. Kristof. For many years, former Richard Nixon speechwriter William Safire was the lone conservative columnist on the page. Following Safire's retirement, David Brooks was hired from the Weekly Standard to fill the "conservative seat". But in 2007, the Times surprised (and angered) many of its politically liberal readers by adding a second conservative, William Kristol, also of the Weekly Standard, as a columnist.
The Wall Street Journal has long been the United States' most influential conservative republican editorial page. Under the long-time leadership of Robert L. Bartley from 1971 to 2001, the page won a number of Pulitzer Prizes. Its columnists include Deputy Editorial Page Editor Daniel Henninger, who writes the "Wonder Land" column on national issues, Kimberly Strassel, who writes the "Potomac Watch" column from Washington, DC and Mary Anastasia O'Grady on Latin American issues. It is edited by Paul Gigot and also publishes the online site, Opinion Journal. It is also the only major editorial board in the nation with its own television program, Journal Editorial Report, which formerly appeared on Public Broadcasting Service stations, but now runs on the Fox News Channel.
The Washington Post 's opinion page features opinion columnists Charles Krauthammer, David Ignatius, and E. J. Dionne among others.
