editorialize

To editorialize refers to the activity of expressing one’s opinions or thoughts about a news topic, rather than reporting on the matter objectively. Oftentimes, news organizations designate sections on their platforms where reporters editorialize about modern issues and current events (e.g., sharing their opinions about general topics like gun violence or recent events like a recently passed legislation). This type of content may be labeled as “Opinion,” “Column,” “Editorial,” or a comparable designation. Columnists often work on editorialized content for legacy and traditional media outlets, providing a consistent voice for this type of content.
