>>>Reading the articles is an entirely different question. There was a special gezerah on captions…
I am not learned in this sugya, but from the simple reading of the shulchan aruch and Mishna Berura (which bring the issur of captions) it seems that both are the same gezeira – משום שטרי הדיוטות
The same applies to reading ANYTHING (including lists of names etc.) aside from Torah and musar (which includes Yosifun).
