Mr. Coteau, you raise another good point. No, it's not the newsroom that authorizes or approves the editorial position. Generally, the editorial writer is an executive in the organization or company. The work of journalists is not guided by the editorial position and, conversely, the newsroom does not guide the editorial content. So there's a distinction to be made between the two, and that's often what leads to confusion, as I was saying earlier.
