AnalysisNewsArticle

AnalysisNewsArticle is a NewsArticle subtype for explainers and deep-dives: pieces that interpret events for readers, connect dots, and provide context without arguing a stance. It adds no properties of its own.

AnalysisNewsArticle is distinct from OpinionNewsArticle (which argues a viewpoint) and ReportageNewsArticle (which reports observed facts). An analysis piece synthesises.

Google rich results this unlocks

AnalysisNewsArticle is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). AnalysisNewsArticle becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common AnalysisNewsArticle mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
Using AnalysisNewsArticle for raw field reporting
Wrong
```
AnalysisNewsArticle on a piece that is just straight news
```
Right
```
ReportageNewsArticle for straight field reports; reserve AnalysisNewsArticle for synthesis and interpretation
```
Analysis implies the author is connecting dots beyond the facts. Straight reports, even lengthy ones, are reportage.
