A '''columnist''' is a type of [[journalist]] who expresses an opinion on the [[news]], life, [[politics]] or [[religion|religious]] and [[ethic]]al issues, rather than merely reporting the facts. The term derives from the [[column]] of written text in a [[newspaper]] or journal but has been extended to cover the [[internet]] and the broadcast [[media]]. Columnists tend to become known for a particular viewpoint and may become media celebrities in their own right. However, the views of a columnist may not be representative of the newspaper or jopurnal in which their column is printed.
