SHORT ANSWER
How do you spell editorial?
E-D-I-T-O-R-I-A-L
Editorial is spelled E-D-I-T-O-R-I-A-L, from editor plus -ial. Editoral, missing the i, is the slip most people make. In an image library editorial marks pictures meant for articles and commentary rather than advertising.
Spelling tip
Editor plus -ial; only one t, and the ending is -ial, not -al.
What it means
Editorial use means illustrating news, commentary or education rather than selling something. AI-assisted files from an image library should be labelled illustrative in editorial contexts.
