Sidebars are used to provide additional in-depth information related to a main story. For example, a story about a murder trial might feature a capsule profile of the judge, prosecutor, or defense attorney as a sidebar. In the example here, taken from USA Today, the part of the page layout circled in blue ink is a sidebar feature (though physically located beneath the photo caption and surrounded by the type of the main story) which relates specific concerns of everyday Americans to the main story about the president's State of the Union address.
