A caption, also known as a cutline, is a text that appears below an image. Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text.
Captions can consist of a few words of description, or several sentences. Along with the title, lead, and section headings, captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative.
Captions also include a short title or heading of an article in a magazine or newspaper. Words shown on a cinema or television screen to establish the scene of a story are also called captions. Captions can also be inserted below/above charts, figures, graphics and tables.
There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct. It establishes the picture's relevance to the article, provides context for the picture, and draws the reader into the article.
