What is a jumpline in the newspaper?

In the context of a newspaper, a jumpline is a line that appears at the bottom of a continued story on another page. It typically indicates the page number where the story continues or provides a brief description of the content on the next page.

For example, if an article is continued on page 5 of the newspaper, the jumpline might read: "Continued on page 5" or "More on page 5." It serves as a guide for the reader to easily locate the continuation of the story without having to search through multiple pages.

Jumplines are often formatted in a bold font or a different color to make them stand out from the main text of the article. They can also include additional details or keywords that give the reader a glimpse of what to expect in the continuation of the story.
