NewsArticle schema

NewsArticle/LiveBlogPosting is for timely reporting — optional for evergreen sites.

Pass condition in our engine: NewsArticle or LiveBlogPosting is present (optional if you are not a publisher).

1. Problem description

Using NewsArticle on a 2018 product page is misleading. Using Article on breaking news may miss news-specific features. Pick the type that matches editorial reality.

2. Most common causes

  • A blog theme emits NewsArticle on every post.
  • News is published as a plain Article.

3. How to fix it

  1. Use NewsArticle only for newsroom content with a dateline.
  2. Use Article/BlogPosting for guides.
