Whatever the type of paper it is, the parts and sections are traditionally similar to one another. We have four major sections of a newspaper (most commonly of campus papers): front page; editorial page; sports page, and; special features. Each section is divided into parts.
PARTS OF THE EDITORIAL PAGE
Folio: A folio usually contains the page number, the date of publication and the name of the newspaper. (The name of the newspaper can also be found in the front page but it is intentionally reprinted in the editorial page and other special pages.)
Masthead: The masthead is the editorial box containing the logo of the newspaper, names and positions of the staff, subscription rate, the publisher and other pertinent information about the newspaper.
Logo (Logotype): The logo or the logotype is seen in the masthead. This contains identifying word or words or symbols such of the newspaper or of the name of the section of the newspaper.
Editorial Proper: The editorial proper is the commentary made by any of the editors (usually, of the editor-in-chief) on any subject. It is the stand of the paper for the day.
Editorial Column: Editorial columns are special types of columns intended and reserved for the writing editor. Like the editorial proper, it can deal with various topics and it is where the paper establishes its stand.
Editorial Cartoon: The editorial cartoon stands by itself. This means that it is an editorial proper or news by itself. It does not have to have any relationship with the editorial column of with the editorial proper. It is usually an exaggerated cartoon intended to be so to create humor. It deals with a simple point which is usually concerned with the current hottest issue.
Editorial Liner: The editorial liner is simply a line of quotations or message placed below the editorial proper or column. Letter to the Editor: This part is like a transparent mailbox of the newspaper containing a message from the reader sharing his own perspectives.
