Definition
Contextualization is the practice of providing background information, historical context, or explanatory framing that helps an audience understand a topic, event, or piece of content more fully. In journalism and content creation, contextualization is a hallmark of quality reporting and educational content — it distinguishes informative, trustworthy creators from those who present information in misleading or sensationalized ways.
