For example, a cancer survivor, someone who has climbed Mount Everest, etc. • In other words it is a story that is meant to catch a reader's attention. • This type of story is also very factual. There is very little or no room for editorializing, or trying to persuade the reader to do something.

  6. EditorialGive your opinion!!! • An editorial is a persuasive piece designed to make the reader think or to do something. • This doesn't have to be a human interest story. • This is usually more intellectual and has numerical facts or quotes that back up the writers opinion, which is what the article is based on.
