In a newspaper article, what is the byline, dateline, and title.?

Question

Need help with newspaper article information.
Dateline--Byline--Title

Answer 1

The byline is who wrote the story (it's "by" so-and-so). The dateline has nothing to do with the date of the story; it states where the story was filed. I have no idea why it's called a dateline but it's important to note that it is where the story was filed, not necessarily where the story happened.

As for titles, there are two kinds. One is the headline, which is the first, larger title. The second is the subhead, which is below the headline, in a smaller type size and usually explains a little more about the story than the headline.

Studies have shown that readers will look at photos first, then either the headline or the photo caption, then the subhead. If they are still interested, they will start reading the article but may drop off at each paragraph break.

If the story jumps to another page, then it loses most readers.

And that's probably way more information than you wanted.

Dateline--Byline--Title

Answer 3

Newspaper Byline

Answer 4

The byline tells you who wrote the article, the dateline tells you the date, and the title is like the headline for the article.

Is that what you needed?

Answer 5

The title is called the headline. It is written in bold, the byline is below it in smaller print, it is a teaser into the article. The dateline is when it was written. That is before the article.
