An article is a stand-alone section of a larger written work. These nonfictional prose compositions appear in magazines, newspapers, academic
journals, the internet, or any other type of publication.

Articles can be divided into two main categories: news and features. Straight
news stories deal with the timeliness and immediacy of breaking news, while feature articles are news stories that deal with human interest topics. />
A news article is an article published in a print or Internet news medium such as a newspaper, newsletter, news magazine, or news-oriented
website that discusses current or recent news of either general interest (i.e. daily newspapers) or on a specific topic (i.e. political or trade news
magazines, club newsletters, or technology news websites).

A news article can include accounts of eyewitnesses to the happening event.
It can contain photographs, accounts, statistics, graphs, recollections, interviews, polls, debates on the topic, etc. Headlines can be used to focus
the reader’s attention on a particular (or main) part of the article. The writer can also give facts and detailed information following answers to
general questions like who, what, when, where, why and how. Quoting references can also be helpful. References to people can also be made through
written accounts of interviews and debates confirming the factuality of the writer’s information and the reliability of his source. The writer can use
redirections to ensure that the reader keeps reading the article and also draws his attention to other articles. For example: - phrases like
“continued on page x …” redirects the reader to page number x where the article is continued. Conclusions also are very important ingredients for
newspaper articles.
