A column is a recurring, bylined article expressing a writer's personal viewpoint on a specific topic, from politics to lifestyle. Unlike hard news, it thrives on opinion, wit, and a distinct voice. Publications use columns to build reader loyalty and foster discussion. Beneficiaries include newspapers, magazines, and websites seeking engaged audiences, while writers gain a platform to establish authority and connect personally with readers.
