Answer:
An editorial is an expression of the position of the newspaper's editors or editorial board or publisher on an issue. It's generally written by an editor or member of the editorial board. The tradition has been to frame the editorial using first person plural, we. Editorials are not generally signed although there have been some exceptions over the years.
A column is written by a columnist, editor or other select individual on a topic of their choosing. It is the expression of one person's opinion or viewpoint and is generally written using first person singular or third person singular. Columns are signed by the author.
An article is nonfictional writing within a publication. Articles can be further divided into news writing, feature writing, sports writing, and opinion writing. Editorials and columns fall under the heading of opinion writing. News and feature articles are generally presented as objective forms. Sports writing is supposed to be objective, but it isn't completely without bias, thus the separate category. Articles can be further divided into the various sections of the newspaper: business, lifestyle, transportation, housing, etc. Articles may or may not be signed depending on the policy of the publication and are generally written in third person.
