Abstract	In this article the authors present a discussion on the genre of editorial as distinct from that of news-reports in that its language is more loaded with attitudes and more indeterminate and hedged than that in the genre of news-report. Another distinctiveness the authors point out is that the genre of editorial is not only concerned with the dissemination of information, but also with the laying down of obligations and instructions, and at times, with the communication of potentialities, whereas the genre of news report more or less restrains itself to the reportage of events or happenings. The authors next point out the similarity of certain features in the two genres: "appreciation" the most used attitude with "judgement" and "affect" occupying the second and the third slot respectively.
