web articles

Internet published pieces

Web articles are pieces of writing published on websites, typically shorter and more accessible than print journalism or academic papers.

The term covers everything from news reports and opinion pieces to how-to guides and listicles.

Web articles are designed for online reading habits—scannable, often with hyperlinks, and optimized for search engines: I found a web article explaining the new tax law.
