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 anarticle in a magazine or newspaper. Words shown on a cinemaor television screen to establish the scene of a story are alsocalled captions. Captions can also be inserted below/above charts, figures, graphics and tables. There are several criteria for a good caption.
