This might be a double definition.

'file that may be used to support' is the first definition.
'column' can be an answer for 'file' (column is a kind of file). I'm unsure of the rest of the definition.

'newspaper article' is the second definition.
(column is a type of newspaper article)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for column that I've seen before include "Round pillar or newspaper article" , "Capital heading, perhaps on this" , "Pillar - newspaper slot" , "Linear array of numbers" , "Trajan's or Nelson's" .)
