A staff column reflects the opinion of the columnist. It is not an objective news story, although columnists use reporting, interviews and research to shape their opinions. Staff columnists strive for accuracy, but unlike news reporters, they can provide their personal impressions, viewpoints and opinions on an array of subjects and issues.
