Editorial Ideas for Newspapers

At different age levels, readers look for a different feel in the editorials. Like, while global affairs could cause a rave in a college newspaper, it might go unnoticed in a high school newspaper. Similarly, celebrity gossip may not be as exciting to a middle school readership, as it would be to a high school readership. You get my point? So, let's start off with particular ideas for different newspapers.

Editorial Ideas for High School Newspaper
High school students need to start getting the feel of a balanced knowledge base. Keeping them informed in a subtle yet interesting way with the help of some opinions or perspectives for a school newspaper is the very duty of a newspaper editor.

• Is the media a responsible entity?
• Size Zero: Fad or obsession?

Editorial Ideas for College Newspaper
Aah college! It is the time when being an adult is mandatory, and being a kid is inevitable. For this very purpose, the opinions given out in newspapers must have a balance of perspective, maturity, gossip, and information. It is a tough balance to achieve. But the right editor will achieve it nonetheless.
