What are “Explainers?” An explainer article is
a form of journalism or content marketing that breaks down complex news, technical topics, or abstract concepts into simple, easily digestible, and accurate information. Unlike traditional, time-sensitive news, explainers focus on answering “how” and “why” to provide context and background, often using Q&A formats, FAQs, or listicle structures.
