What is a "sidebar"?
A sidebar is a short article or section in a newspaper, magazine, or online publication that is placed next to a main story. It provides additional information or context related to the primary article but is not the main focus. Sidebars can include facts, quotes, related stories, statistics, or background details that complement the main content. They are typically set apart from the main article, either in a separate column or box, to provide readers with extra insights without interrupting the flow of the main story.
Example
The newspaper 's website features interactive sidebars with multimedia elements, such as videos and infographics.
A sidebar column offers readers a different perspective on current events, written by a guest columnist.
