Caption
 A caption, also known as a cutline, is 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. Writing good captions can be difficult, and
the examples below may be helpful. Along with the title, the lead, and section headings, captions are
the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative. There are
several criteria for a good caption. A good caption:
1. Clearly identifies the subject of the picture, without detailing the obvious;
2. Succinct;
3. Establishes the picture’s relevance to the article;
4. Provides context for the picture;
5. Draw the reader into the article.        
Different people read articles in different ways. Some people start at the and read each word until
the end. Others read the first paragraph and scan through for other interesting information, looking
especially at pictures and captions. Those readers, even if the information is adjacent in the text, will
not find it unless it is in the caption. However, it is best not to tell the whole story in the caption, but
use the caption to make the reader curious about the subject.
Another way of approaching the job: imagine you’re giving a lecture based on the encyclopedia
article, and you are using the image to illustrate the lecture. What would you say while attention is on
the image? What do you want your audience to notice in the image, and why? Corollary: if you have
nothing to say about it, then the image probably does not belong in the article.
