## Solution

Article schema helps search engines understand news and blog content. Required: headline, author (Person with name), datePublished. Recommended: dateModified, image (ImageObject), publisher (Organization). Use Article for general content, NewsArticle for news, BlogPosting for blogs. Ensure author links to real author pages.
