How to name a tag wrapper

[pankopiotr]

I was wondering whether a tag element which is wrapping other content, is considered a block?
Let's consider this vanilla code:

          <div>
            <a href='#'>
              <p>Some random paragraph</p>
              <img src='stylesheets/assets/onion.jpg'>
            </a>
          </div>

Code below considers a tag as normal element.

          <div class="news-box">
            <a class="news-box__link" href='#'>
              <p class="news__content">Some random paragraph</p>
              <img class="news-box__image" src='stylesheets/assets/onion.jpg'>
            </a>
          </div>

While this code considers a tag as block that wraps p and img:

          <div class="news-box">
            <a class="news" href='#'>
              <p class="news__content">Some random paragraph</p>
              <img class="news-__image" src='stylesheets/assets/onion.jpg'>
            </a>
          </div>

Which approach is better/valid and why?

Both variants are valid.
Here's the way to decide if an entity is a block or an element: https://en.bem.info/methodology/quick-start/#should-i-create-a-block-or-an-element
