ELI5: WHY DO SOME books and news articles start the first few words in all caps?

I've always seen this in "classier" books and news publications, but I never understood why they did it, or what the origin was. Sometimes it's even in larger print. It seems random when it happens, or how many words they capitalize.

Thanks in advance!

When you have many articles clustered together, it makes it easier to find where they start.

In books, where chapters start in mid page, it can help find the where they start.

But mostly it is just a style.
