writeups
Articles about something
Writeups are written accounts, reports, or descriptions of something—typically more detailed than a summary but less formal than an official document.
A journalist submits a writeup of an event; an employee receives a writeup documenting poor performance.
The term often implies something composed for a specific practical purpose: I read the writeup of the meeting, She got a writeup for being late three times.
