Terminology

While I was researching newspaper terminology I came across this annotated picture from TheTimesOnline which is going to help me as i will be able to look back and refer to this.


Additionally, to make sure I get to grips with the terminology I have below annotated a few newspaper clippings to show some of the terms so i can later refer back to them to help me. I have used a mixture of terms from the glossaries at these websites:

METRO or any newspaper title is called the flag

The short snippets of news down the left hand side are called fillers

A headline which is placed either to the left or the right, like above, is called a side saddle head

The text within the main story on the front page has been justified to look neat as all the edges line up

The small text underneath the photo is called a cutline and at the end of the cutline it says >P9 and this is called the jumpline, as it is telling the reader where the rest of the story is.




At the very bottom of this paper there was a long strip of advertisement for a free public seminar, this is called a banner ad




What i have highlighed above is the text underneath the three photos, which are called captions




The box i have drawn above shows the editors, photographers and any contact info etc. This is called the masthead and is often on the inside page of the front cover, which is where i found this one.
