Editorial independence refers to the freedom of editors to make choices without being influenced by the publication's owners.
It addresses current events and concerns and makes an effort to generate opinions based on an unbiased examination of what has happened and divergent or opposing viewpoints. The main focus of an editorial is balance. However, when the situation calls for it, it still occasionally stirs things up.
The correspondents and editors strongly believes thar an Op-Ed is not a news story that simply describes a situation; it is your opinion about how to improve matters. Make your call to action something concrete and realistic.
