As I have discussed in previous posts the first writing task for Year 13 will be writing a column. I have put examples of columns on the blog but some of you may still be a little unsure about what exactly a column is.
According to Wikipedia a column is a recurring piece or article in a newspaper, magazine or other publication. Columns are written by columnists.
What differentiates a column from other forms of journalism is that it meets each of the following criteria:
- It is a regular feature in a publication
- It is personality-driven by the author
- It explicitly contains an opinion or point of view
