What is a budget line?when it comes to writting an article.?

Question

media and journalism

Answer 1

The published length of an article.

Since I do not know what country you are from, your question about a budget line might refer to the number of lines available in the news hole* for a particular article.

Articles were sized by copy editors in inches or words in the U.S., but the advent of digital pagination has caused some publications to use line count instead of word count.

In most American newspapers, three typed lines equals one inch or 30 words or six lines typeset in column format.  

So a two-page (double spaced) article would be 500 words or 16 inches or 100 lines.

This might end up with an editor giving the writer a budget of 100 to fill the allocated space for the article.

Budget line may be used to differentiate from the financial term of "line budget" just as journalism uses "lede" so the term is not confused with "lead" -- which in typesetting means more space.

*  The news hole is the amount of space remaining in a publication after the advertisements are put in place.
