An article, in general, is a piece of writing for publication in a maga­zine, newspaper, brochure, leaflet, etc. It may be formal or informal in style, depending on its intended readership. Its purpose may be to provide information, describe a place/event/experience, etc, present an opinion or balanced argument, offer advice/suggestions, etc.

There are certain specialised types of articles, however. These include:

  1. news reports, which are brief, factual pieces of writing written for publication in newspapers, describing important current events in a formal, impersonal style; and

  2. reviews, which are specialised articles written to describe, discuss and/or evaluate a film, book, theatrical performance, TV series, etc.

Such pieces are usually published in a magazine or newspaper.
A successful article should consist of:

a) an eye-catching title or headline which suggests the topic of the article
that follows;


b) an introduction which clearly outlines the topic(s) to be covered;

c) a main body of several paragraphs in which the subject is developed in detail; and

d) a conclusion which summarises the topic and/or offers an opinion, comments, recommendations, etc.
