types of column
The “opinion” column (also called the “signed editorial column”) – Resembles an
editorial in form but, in contrast with the editorial’s impersonal and anonymous approach, carries the personal, stamp of the writer’s own ideas. (I hesitate to use a local example, thus a safe one is Walter Lippman’s “Today and Tomorrow.”)
2. The hodge-podge column – Where the author lumps together odds and ends of information, a poem here, an announcement there, a point paragraph, a modernized proverb, a joke, or an interesting quotation.
3. The essay column (increasingly rare) – Is a legacy from a more leisurely age when writers could sit and scribble and muse in light or purple prose. (The exponents of this form were Addison and Steele of the famed Spectator papers, Charles Lamb, Oliver Goldsmith, G.K. Chesterton, and Christopher Morley. The Filipino columnist who best approximated this type was Godofredo Rivera of the Graphic.
4. The gossip column – Caters to the inherent interest of human beings in human beings. Unfortunately, the reader’s eyes light up more frequently when they spy the vices rather than the virtues of others. The society columnists (as well as the otherwise sober ones who occasionally dabble in small talk) chronicle here the facts and foibles of the great and near-great, the social climbers, and the true celebrities. The first example that comes to mind is Walter Winchell and his “keyhole” journalism.
5. The dopester’s column – Written by the columnist who also has his eye to the keyhole but with a more serious purpose. He uses much the same technique as the gossip columnist but rises above the chatterbox variety of news to poke into the activities of the “men who make the decisions.” The “victims” are usually the government’s leader-politicians, congressmen, senators, Cabinet officials, titans of industry and commerce, and institutions which have to do with national international affairs. The columnist’s “pipelines” to sources of information often give him the ability to “forecast” news before it happens, bare still unannounced plans and appointments, reveal “secret pacts,” and lay bare the secrets of government and finance open to public scrutiny.

Admit impediments. Love is not love

It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."
