While the news pages report the facts of events, editorial pages feature writers' and cartoonists' opinions about events to either directly or indirectly persuade. Introduce viewers to the art of indirect persuasion with a presentation that defines different types of indirect persuasion (sarcasm, irony, satire) and provides examples of these types.
