How to use 栏目
栏目 refers to a regular, recurring section of a newspaper, magazine, website, or TV or radio channel, such as a weekly opinion column or a nightly news segment. It is often paired with words like 开设 (kāishè, to set up) or 主持 (zhǔchí, to host). Example: 这个栏目每周五播出。(Zhège lánmù měi zhōuwǔ bōchū.) This segment airs every Friday.
栏 (lán) means a railing or fenced section, and 目 (mù) means an eye or an item. Picture a page or a broadcast divided by railings into sections, each one a 栏目 you can keep your eye on.
Common mistake: Learners often use 栏目 and 节目 (jiémù) interchangeably. 节目 is any single show or performance, while 栏目 stresses a regular, branded section or series within a publication or channel. Also watch the tone: 栏 is second tone (lán), not fourth like 烂 (làn, rotten).
