WHAT DOES ADVICE COLUMN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Advice column

An advice column is a column in a magazine or newspaper written by an advice columnist. The image presented was originally of an older woman dispensing comforting advice and maternal wisdom, hence the name "aunt". An advice columnist can also be someone who gives advice to people who send in problems to the newspaper. Sometimes the author is in fact a composite or a team: Marjorie Proops's name appeared long after she retired. The nominal writer may be a pseudonym, or in effect a brand name; the accompanying picture may bear little resemblance to the actual author. The term is beginning to fall into disuse, as the scope of personal advice has broadened, to include sexual matters — pioneered by the likes of Dr. Ruth — as well as general lifestyle issues.
