Credit assignment: breaking down an editorial (2)

Go online to the Los Angeles Times or another major newspaper (New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) and select a specific editorial to work with for this exercise. It should be something appearing very recently if not today, and I recommend choosing one that is relatively short. Make sure it is in fact an editorial and not just an op-ed column by seeing whether an author is named for it (editorials are not signed unless to indicate it is by the editorial board).
