Each entry consists of a concise abstract of the article followed by the citation. The citation gives the code for the newspaper, plus the month, day, year and page where the article can be found. Special codes are used to indicate photographs, graphics, columns, features, editorials, letters to the editor, and especially newsworthy articles.
