What should we include in our captions to make them meaningful?• Most journalistic captions contain these components:• The lead-in is a mini-headline for the caption. It
should be catchy verbally and dynamic visually.• The summary sentence is written in present tense
and answers the five Ws and H about what is going on in the photo.• The descriptive sentence, if used, provides
background information the reader might not know and is best written in past tense.• Quotes from individuals in the photo can also add a
human touch to the story.
