NewsArticle Type

A NewsArticle is an article whose content reports news, or provides background context and supporting materials for understanding the news.

A more detailed overview of schema.org News markup is also available.

Own Properties
Properties of @schema/News­ArticleExpected TypeDescription
@schema/dateline

A dateline is a brief piece of text included in news articles that describes where and when the story was written or filed though the date is often omitted. Sometimes only a placename is provided.

Structured representations of dateline-related information can also be expressed more explicitly using [[locationCreated]] (which represents where a work was created e.g. where a news report was written). For location depicted or described in the content, use [[contentLocation]].

Dateline summaries are oriented more towards human readers than towards automated processing, and can vary substantially. Some examples: "BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 2.", "Paris, France", "December 19, 2017 11:43AM Reporting from Washington", "Beijing/Moscow", "QUEZON CITY, Philippines".

@schema/print­Column

The number of the column in which the NewsArticle appears in the print edition.

@schema/print­Edition

The edition of the print product in which the NewsArticle appears.

@schema/print­Page

If this NewsArticle appears in print, this field indicates the name of the page on which the article is found. Please note that this field is intended for the exact page name (e.g. A5, B18).

@schema/print­Section

If this NewsArticle appears in print, this field indicates the print section in which the article appeared.

Inherited Properties
Properties inherited from @schema/ArticleExpected TypeDescription
@schema/article­Body

The actual body of the article.

@schema/article­Section

Articles may belong to one or more 'sections' in a magazine or newspaper, such as Sports, Lifestyle, etc.

@schema/backstory or 

For an [[Article]], typically a [[NewsArticle]], the backstory property provides a textual summary giving a brief explanation of why and how an article was created. In a journalistic setting this could include information about reporting process, methods, interviews, data sources, etc.

@schema/page­End or 

The page on which the work ends; for example "138" or "xvi".

@schema/page­Start or 

The page on which the work starts; for example "135" or "xiii".

@schema/pagination

Any description of pages that is not separated into pageStart and pageEnd; for example, "1-6, 9, 55" or "10-12, 46-49".

@schema/speakable or 

Indicates sections of a Web page that are particularly 'speakable' in the sense of being highlighted as being especially appropriate for text-to-speech conversion. Other sections of a page may also be usefully spoken in particular circumstances; the 'speakable' property serves to indicate the parts most likely to be generally useful for speech.

The speakable property can be repeated an arbitrary number of times, with three kinds of possible 'content-locator' values:

1.) id-value URL references - uses id-value of an element in the page being annotated. The simplest use of speakable has (potentially relative) URL values, referencing identified sections of the document concerned.

2.) CSS Selectors - addresses content in the annotated page, eg. via class attribute. Use the [[cssSelector]] property.

3.) XPaths - addresses content via XPaths (assuming an XML view of the content). Use the [[xpath]] property.

For more sophisticated markup of speakable sections beyond simple ID references, either CSS selectors or XPath expressions to pick out document section(s) as speakable. For this we define a supporting type, [[SpeakableSpecification]] which is defined to be a possible value of the speakable property.

@schema/word­Count

The number of words in the text of the Article.

@schema/encoding­Format or 

Media type typically expressed using a MIME format (see IANA site and MDN reference) e.g. application/zip for a SoftwareApplication binary, audio/mpeg for .mp3 etc.).

In cases where a [[CreativeWork]] has several media type representations, [[encoding]] can be used to indicate each [[MediaObject]] alongside particular [[encodingFormat]] information.

Unregistered or niche encoding and file formats can be indicated instead via the most appropriate URL, e.g. defining Web page or a Wikipedia/Wikidata entry.

@schema/file­Format or 

Media type, typically MIME format (see IANA site) of the content e.g. application/zip of a SoftwareApplication binary. In cases where a CreativeWork has several media type representations, 'encoding' can be used to indicate each MediaObject alongside particular fileFormat information.

@schema/maintainer or 

A maintainer of a [[Dataset]], software package ([[SoftwareApplication]]), or other [[Project]]. A maintainer is a [[Person]] or [[Organization]] that manages contributions to, and/or publication of, some (typically complex) artifact. It is common for distributions of software and data to be based on "upstream" sources. When [[maintainer]] is applied to a specific version of something e.g. a particular version or packaging of a [[Dataset]], it is always possible that the upstream source has a different maintainer. The [[isBasedOn]] property can be used to indicate such relationships between datasets to make the different maintenance roles clear. Similarly in the case of software, a package may have dedicated maintainers working on integration into software distributions such as Ubuntu, as well as upstream maintainers of the underlying work.

@schema/material or 

A material that something is made from, e.g. leather, wool, cotton, paper.

@schema/material­Extent or 

The quantity of the materials being described or an expression of the physical space they occupy.

@schema/mentions

Indicates that the CreativeWork contains a reference to, but is not necessarily about a concept.

@schema/offers or 

An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event. Use [[businessFunction]] to indicate the kind of transaction offered, i.e. sell, lease, etc. This property can also be used to describe a [[Demand]]. While this property is listed as expected on a number of common types, it can be used in others. In that case, using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer.

@schema/pattern or 

A pattern that something has, for example 'polka dot', 'striped', 'Canadian flag'. Values are typically expressed as text, although links to controlled value schemes are also supported.

@schema/position or 

The position of an item in a series or sequence of items.

@schema/producer or 

The person or organization who produced the work (e.g. music album, movie, tv/radio series etc.).

@schema/provider or 

The service provider, service operator, or service performer; the goods producer. Another party (a seller) may offer those services or goods on behalf of the provider. A provider may also serve as the seller.

@schema/publication

A publication event associated with the item.

@schema/publishing­Principles or 

The publishingPrinciples property indicates (typically via [[URL]]) a document describing the editorial principles of an [[Organization]] (or individual e.g. a [[Person]] writing a blog) that relate to their activities as a publisher, e.g. ethics or diversity policies. When applied to a [[CreativeWork]] (e.g. [[NewsArticle]]) the principles are those of the party primarily responsible for the creation of the [[CreativeWork]].

While such policies are most typically expressed in natural language, sometimes related information (e.g. indicating a [[funder]]) can be expressed using schema.org terminology.

@schema/recorded­At

The Event where the CreativeWork was recorded. The CreativeWork may capture all or part of the event.

@schema/released­Event

The place and time the release was issued, expressed as a PublicationEvent.

@schema/review

A review of the item.

@schema/reviews

Review of the item.

@schema/schema­Version or 

Indicates (by URL or string) a particular version of a schema used in some CreativeWork. This property was created primarily to indicate the use of a specific schema.org release, e.g. 10.0 as a simple string, or more explicitly via URL, http://schema.org/docs/releases.html#v10.0. There may be situations in which other schemas might usefully be referenced this way, e.g. http://dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dces/1999-07-02/ but this has not been carefully explored in the community.

@schema/sd­Date­Published

Indicates the date on which the current structured data was generated / published. Typically used alongside [[sdPublisher]]

@schema/sd­License or 

A license document that applies to this structured data, typically indicated by URL.

@schema/sd­Publisher or 

Indicates the party responsible for generating and publishing the current structured data markup, typically in cases where the structured data is derived automatically from existing published content but published on a different site. For example, student projects and open data initiatives often re-publish existing content with more explicitly structured metadata. The [[sdPublisher]] property helps make such practices more explicit.

@schema/size or 

A standardized size of a product or creative work, specified either through a simple textual string (for example 'XL', '32Wx34L'), a QuantitativeValue with a unitCode, or a comprehensive and structured [[SizeSpecification]]; in other cases, the [[width]], [[height]], [[depth]] and [[weight]] properties may be more applicable.

@schema/source­Organization

The Organization on whose behalf the creator was working.

@schema/spatial

The "spatial" property can be used in cases when more specific properties (e.g. [[locationCreated]], [[spatialCoverage]], [[contentLocation]]) are not known to be appropriate.

@schema/spatial­Coverage

The spatialCoverage of a CreativeWork indicates the place(s) which are the focus of the content. It is a subproperty of contentLocation intended primarily for more technical and detailed materials. For example with a Dataset, it indicates areas that the dataset describes: a dataset of New York weather would have spatialCoverage which was the place: the state of New York.

@schema/sponsor or 

A person or organization that supports a thing through a pledge, promise, or financial contribution. e.g. a sponsor of a Medical Study or a corporate sponsor of an event.

@schema/teaches or 

The item being described is intended to help a person learn the competency or learning outcome defined by the referenced term.

@schema/temporal or 

The "temporal" property can be used in cases where more specific properties (e.g. [[temporalCoverage]], [[dateCreated]], [[dateModified]], [[datePublished]]) are not known to be appropriate.

@schema/temporal­Coverage or 

The temporalCoverage of a CreativeWork indicates the period that the content applies to, i.e. that it describes, either as a DateTime or as a textual string indicating a time period in ISO 8601 time interval format. In the case of a Dataset it will typically indicate the relevant time period in a precise notation (e.g. for a 2011 census dataset, the year 2011 would be written "2011/2012"). Other forms of content e.g. ScholarlyArticle, Book, TVSeries or TVEpisode may indicate their temporalCoverage in broader terms - textually or via well-known URL. Written works such as books may sometimes have precise temporal coverage too, e.g. a work set in 1939 - 1945 can be indicated in ISO 8601 interval format format via "1939/1945".

Open-ended date ranges can be written with ".." in place of the end date. For example, "2015-11/.." indicates a range beginning in November 2015 and with no specified final date. This is tentative and might be updated in future when ISO 8601 is officially updated.

@schema/text

The textual content of this CreativeWork.

@schema/thumbnail­Url

A thumbnail image relevant to the Thing.

@schema/time­Required

Approximate or typical time it takes to work with or through this learning resource for the typical intended target audience, e.g. 'PT30M', 'PT1H25M'.

@schema/translation­Of­Work

The work that this work has been translated from. e.g. 物种起源 is a translationOf “On the Origin of Species”

@schema/translator or 

Organization or person who adapts a creative work to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market, or that translates during some event.

@schema/typical­Age­Range

The typical expected age range, e.g. '7-9', '11-'.

@schema/usage­Info or 

The schema.org [[usageInfo]] property indicates further information about a [[CreativeWork]]. This property is applicable both to works that are freely available and to those that require payment or other transactions. It can reference additional information e.g. community expectations on preferred linking and citation conventions, as well as purchasing details. For something that can be commercially licensed, usageInfo can provide detailed, resource-specific information about licensing options.

This property can be used alongside the license property which indicates license(s) applicable to some piece of content. The usageInfo property can provide information about other licensing options, e.g. acquiring commercial usage rights for an image that is also available under non-commercial creative commons licenses.

@schema/version or 

The version of the CreativeWork embodied by a specified resource.

@schema/video or 

An embedded video object.

@schema/work­Example

Example/instance/realization/derivation of the concept of this creative work. eg. The paperback edition, first edition, or eBook.

@schema/work­Translation

A work that is a translation of the content of this work. e.g. 西遊記 has an English workTranslation “Journey to the West”,a German workTranslation “Monkeys Pilgerfahrt” and a Vietnamese translation Tây du ký bình khảo.

Properties inherited from @schema/ThingExpected TypeDescription
@schema/additional­Type

An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.

@schema/alternate­Name

An alias for the item.

@schema/description

A description of the item.

@schema/disambiguating­Description

A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.

@schema/identifier or 

The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.

@schema/image or 

An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]].

@schema/main­Entity­Of­Page or 

Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.

@schema/name

The name of the item.

@schema/potential­Action

Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.

@schema/same­As
