Types of Captions
There are several types of captions in English in text news items. Where the caption is used to explain or provide more information about an image or can also beautify the image. Below are some types of captions:
Identification Bar
In this type of caption, only mentions who is in the picture.
Cutline
This type of caption says who is in the picture and what that person is doing.
Summary
This type of caption contains a more complete explanation of the people in the picture, what they did, when it happened, and why they did it.
Expanded
The form of this type of caption is more complete than the summary and this type of caption contains various events and their quotes.
Group Identification
This type of caption is the same as the type of identification bar caption except that this type is used if the image contains more than one person.
Quotes
This type of caption contains a quote from someone related to the displayed image.
Examples of Captions
1. Example Caption on Identification Bar
In the article on BBC News that discussed the people with hidden protection from Covid-19, there was a picture of Princess Diana with a man who turned out to be a patient suffering from HIV with the words:
AIDS is primarily a disease of T-cells, which are systematically eliminated by HIV in patients who are infected by the virus.
The caption above means that AIDS, which is a disease of T-cells, is systematically eliminated by HIV in patients infected with the virus.
2. Example Caption on Cutline
In the picture above, several sentences are written as captions explaining who is in the picture and what they are doing, where the incident occurred when a riot occurred on Wednesday night, May 8, 2018 at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters Kelapa Dua, Depok. In the photo above it says:
Police officers' cordon off a road in front of the Police Mobile Brigade headquarters (Mako Brimob) in Depok, West Java, on Wednesday morning following a riot inside the Mako Brimob detention center. (Kompas.com/Abba Gabriellin)
The meaning of the caption above is that police officers fenced off the road in front of the headquarters of the police mobile brigade (Mako Brimob) in Depok, West Java, on Wednesday morning after a riot inside the Mako Brimob detention center.
3. Example Caption in Summary
From the image caption above it says: Passengers wearing protective masks and face shields queues for a public bus, following the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, at a central bus spot in Jakarta, July 27 2020. The health ministry reported 1,525 new cases and 57 deaths on Monday, taking the total number of infections and fatalities to 100,303 and 4,838, respectively.
Where the meaning of the example caption text above is: Passengers are queuing at public bus facilities wearing protective masks and face shields, after the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak broke out, at the central bus station in Jakarta, July 27, 2020. The Ministry of Health reported on the day Monday, there were 1,525 new cases and 57 deaths, bringing the total infected and deaths to 100,303 and 4,838, respectively.
4. Example Caption on Expanded
It can be seen in this type of caption writing a more complete description, this type of expanded caption is a development from the previous caption, especially the summary caption.
From the picture above explains about the Slam dunk performed by basketball player John Smith.
5. Example of Group Identification Caption
In the example caption above: Members of an all-Black militia group called NFAC hold an armed rally in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S. July 25, 2020. A group of heavily armed Black protesters marched through Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a Black woman killed in March by police officers who burst into her apartment.

The text caption above describes members of an all-black militia group called NFAC holding a rally in Louisville, Kentucky, USA on July 25, 2020. A group of heavily armed black protesters marched through Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was killed in March by Police officers who entered her apartment.
In this example, the text is the same as the caption identification bar example, except that the subject is a group of people.
6. Example of a Caption Quote
In the example caption above it is written: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration (Quote from: Thomas Edison)
Where the meaning of the text caption above is: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent is sweat.
Examples of caption quotes are very easy to find on existing image media or social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. Caption quotes have often been used to convey messages indirectly accompanied by pictures containing words of wisdom.
