Frequently Asked Questions

The News & Record's editorial pages provide a daily local forum for dialogue, ideas and constructive debate. The Opinion page is the main editorial page. It contains, on its far left-hand side, “house editorials,” which express the official stance of the newspaper. It also typically contains letters to the editor and editorial cartoons.

The Second Opinion page, also called the “op-ed page,” contains a variety of syndicated columns. It also offers a regular lineup of local columnists and frequently features guest columns from our readers, experts on issues in the news, community newsmakers and News & Record readers. In addition, you’ll find “Doonesbury” and a third editorial cartoon there.

The Sunday Ideas section is an expanded commentary section that includes editorials and letters, plus two additional opinion pages. The Ideas front page features in-depth commentaries on a variety of subjects. Sometimes the page is devoted to one topic; at other times, it covers an assortment of topics. The Ideas section also contains the weekly book page, which features locally and nationally written reviews.
