Doug Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Im sorry, this is kind of stupid, But what is the diffrence between an article and a column? Is one a personal story (column) teaching a lesson, and a article something with no opion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 A column doesn't have a to teach a lesson, but generally speaking you're right. However, sometimes the line between the two becomes blurred. For instance, my If I Ran Marvel / DC series is listed as an article, but it could very easily be a column, too.

Ok, By the way, When are you going to start no bones about it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Honestly? Probably never. The podcast allows me to editorialize enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks, but I'd rather focus on reviews and the various podcasts. If an idea strikes me, sure, I'll write it. But we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I thought a column was a reoccurring thing with an overall theme, and an article is just a one shot about a certain subject. I admit I really don't know, but that's what I assumed since columns are usually weekly or daily in newspapers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Right. The King and I is a column, for instance, because it's all about Kirby and his legacy. If it weren't for the legacy bit, it would just be a Kirby-themed review series. Same goes for Comic Reel-lief: it's a column because Ian examines comic book movies in a slightly different way than your typical review. Tranquil Tirades, however, is a review series because, well, it's a series of reviews. The only linking factor is James' RAGE~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah, this always confused me too. Like, how the hell did I win best column with a one-shot (well, two-shot) then? I always thought it would've counted as an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Sometimes I find the line between the two a little confusing, I'll admit. Your piece, DW, I can't recall why I placed it under columns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I thought even my reviews would be considered column in a conspiracy to count me out of "best review" in the mainpage awards...I'll get you yet! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James isn't here right now. Let's blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
