ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Editorial board

Imagine you are in school and you have to do a group project. The teacher sets a task for the project but it's up to you and your group to make decisions on how to complete it.

An editorial board is a group of people who work for a newspaper or a magazine. They are responsible for making decisions about what should be published in the newspaper or magazine.

Just like your group project, the editorial board discusses and makes decisions about the content of the newspaper or magazine. They work together to ensure that the articles are well-written, accurate, and interesting to the readers.

If you have ever seen a newspaper or magazine, you know that there are articles about different topics such as sports, politics, and entertainment. The editorial board is responsible for making sure that each article fits with the theme of the magazine or newspaper and appeals to the readers.

They also decide which letters to the editor should be published and which opinions should be expressed.

Think of an editorial board as a team of friends who work together to make sure that the newspaper or magazine is the best it can be. Each member has a different role and they work together to make sure that everything is just right.
