Is it a series of articles (more than one over a period of time), or one article spread out over a few pages, in which the headline would be the same. I would probably use "article" or "series" Other words solely meaning chapter in a newspaper would be excerpt, piece, segment

"series" would be closer. Usually used if the articles are intended to be read one after another.

A "column" can not only be a part of a newspaper page, but also a daily, weekly column (article, mostly with comments) in exactly the sense you want to express.

I have finished my weekly column on Floijan.

But she hasn't finished one weekly column, she has been writting over couple of weeks about this topic in her columns. Or perhaps I didn't understand your point.

A weekly column is a article commenting on a certain topic or in a certain style each week (i.e. once a week). A daily column appears each day.

What about - 'series of columns' ?

If you just use 'column' it implies that the jounalist only ever wrote about that particular topic or in that style and had now decided to stop altogether.
