Examples from texts

There had been a squib about the accident in the Fairview Reporter -decorous, no names mentioned - and that was all. Nothing in the New York papers.
В газете Фэйрвью "Репортер" была лишь маленькая заметка в которой и имена-то не назывались, а в газетах Нью-Йорка и того не было.

The success of the Squib Annual had heartened both parties to the contract, and a "series of Cockney sporting plates" (Seymour's idea) had been discussed with Chapman and Hall but no further step taken.
Успех сатирического ежегодника воодушевил обе стороны, и был заключен контракт на «серию гравюр о лондонцах и спорте». Идея принадлежала Сеймору и обсуждалась с Чапменом и Холлом, но дальше обсуждения дело не пошло.

News-items and three-line editorial squibs dug at his tyranny, his ignorance, his callowness.
В газетах фельетоны и заметки в три строки «от редакции» высмеивали его тиранию, невежество, неопытность.
