and then use uppercase for

the entire abbreviated title.

each use is given for easy location.
Fold – the imaginary horizontal line that
divides the newspaper

equally into two parts. This is where the paper folds in half. when it is inserted into those

3. Editorial Page
A newspaper publishes its views on current events – both local and national – on its editorial
page. This is where letters to the editor, political cartoons, and editorials – unsigned commentary
that reflects the collective position of the
newspaper’s editorial board – appear. Letters
are often among the best-read section of any
newspaper, for this is where readers express
their opinions. Some newspapers limit letters to
a certain number of words – maybe 150 or 300
– while others publish letters of virtually any
length.
Editorials are not news, but rather reasoned opinion based on facts. For example, editorials
may criticize the performance of public officials such as the mayor, the police chief or the local
school board; conversely, editorials may praise others for their civic contributions. Whatever the
topic, newspapers hope their editorials will raise the level of community discourse.
