 Auditorials represent a new medium for news organizations to express their opinions.Previously limited to what could be printed on the editorial page of a newspaper (such as editorials, columns, letters to the editor and editorial cartoons) or what could be said over the radio or television, journalists now have an entirely new medium—one which uses short clips from audio recordings of prominent public figures—to express their opinion.The concept of auditorials, some might argue, was made popular by spoofs on Howard Dean's infamous "I have a scream" speech during the 2004 United States Presidential campaign.
