    MAKING A CAPTION

    (Pertemuan 1 : 2 x 45 menit)
    A caption, also known as a cutline, is text that appears below an image. Most captions draw attention
    to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. Captions can consist of a few
    words of description, or several sentences. Along with the title, the lead, and section headings, captions are
    the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative
    (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki / Wikipedia: ManualofStyle/Captions) .
    Captions also include a short title or heading of an article in a magazine or newspaper. Words
    shown on a cinema or television screen to establish the scene of a story are also called captions.
    There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the
    picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct, establishes the picture's relevance to the article,
    provides context for the picture, and draws the reader into the article.
