Editorial
ENR editorials are written weekly by staff editors and represent the offical opinion of ENR editors as group, but not necessarily the views of magazine as a business organization or those of The McGraw-Hill Cos., ENR's parent firm. ENR editorials often relate to an article in that week's issue, but can be about issues reported earlier or not at all. In its reporting, ENR attempts to be fair and factual. ENR editors save their opinions for the editorial page
