| BackgroundNewsArticle |
A [[NewsArticle]] providing historical context, definition and detail on a specific topic (aka "explainer" or "backgrounder"). For example, an in-depth article or frequently-asked-questions ([FAQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ)) document on topics such as Climate Change or the European Union. Other kinds of background material from a non-news setting are often described using [[Book]] or [[Article]], in particular [[ScholarlyArticle]].

| OpinionNewsArticle |
An [[OpinionNewsArticle]] is a [[NewsArticle]] that primarily expresses opinions rather than journalistic reporting of news and events. For example, a [[NewsArticle]] consisting of a column or [[Blog]]/[[BlogPosting]] entry in the Opinions section of a news publication. |
| ReportageNewsArticle |
The [[ReportageNewsArticle]] type is a subtype of [[NewsArticle]] representing
news articles which are the result of journalistic news reporting conventions.
In practice many news publishers produce a wide variety of article types, many of which might be considered a [[NewsArticle]] but not a [[ReportageNewsArticle]]. For example, opinion pieces, reviews, analysis, sponsored or satirical articles, or articles that combine several of these elements.
The [[ReportageNewsArticle]] type is based on a stricter ideal for "news" as a work of journalism, with articles based on factual information either observed or verified by the author, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. This often includes perspectives from multiple viewpoints on a particular issue (distinguishing news reports from public relations or propaganda). News reports in the [[ReportageNewsArticle]] sense de-emphasize the opinion of the author, with commentary and value judgements typically expressed elsewhere.
A [[ReportageNewsArticle]] which goes deeper into analysis can also be marked with an additional type of [[AnalysisNewsArticle]].

| ReviewNewsArticle |
