You can find editorials (opinion on a topic by a writer or publisher of the newspaper or magazine) in newspapers and magazines such as Time or the National Review.
Library resources:
One method for finding newspaper editorials if you don't already have a recommended or preferred periodical in mind is to go to the library's website, and follow these steps listed below:
1. Click on Articles & Databases
2. Select News & Newspapers from the drop-down menu under Types
3. Click on recommended database like Newspaper Source Plus. [Another option for finding editorials to use and then search Academic Search Premier (under the letter A) in the All Subjects category.]
Both of these recommended databases have a Document Type feature on the advanced search screen that will limit your results to a specific type of article such as editorial. To enable this limit, follow these steps:
1. Type your keywords in the search screen,
2. Scroll down beneath the search boxes, and look for Search Options.
3. There is a Document Type feature. Scroll the list and select editorial.
Web searching in conjunction with library resources:
You can sometimes use a search engine to find editorials or even go to a periodical's website to find editorials. Here's an example of recent editorials from the New York Times. However, you may run into a paywall after a certain number of views (a site may ask you to subscribe to read an article). If that happens, you can copy and paste the title into a Discovery catalog search or place an interlibrary loan request for the material to get access through the library.
See below for more options on how to find editorials.
