This week I'll post links to good examples of columns and editorials for you to read. Remember to pay attention to the leads, as well as the structure of these pieces. Also, pay attention to what is fact, and what is opinion, and especially how facts are used to strengthen and support the opinions.
First, a column by Leonard Pitts that appeared in the Sunday (March 21) St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Pitts, a nationally-syndicated columnist with the Miami Herald, warns of the damage to society if newspapers disappear. Click on the headline below to read Pitts' column:
"Without a local paper, the next Blagojevich gets away with it"
