From or of? 'an article of a magazine' or 'an article from a magazine'?

[Brigitta]

When should I use 'from' and when 'of'? Is it, for instance, 'an article of a magazine' or 'an article from a magazine'? Tips or tricks?

From a magazine. Tip: avoid 'of' in this kind of situation. It seems to be a favorite of EFL students, but does not occur much among native speakers.

For??? But what if the newspaper is published on that date and you refer back to it? E.g. Yesterday I read the newspaper OF/FROM Feb. 28????

[Mister Micawber]

.
Yes, 'for February 28th' sounds good to me there, too. Or 'from February 28th'.
