// Set border color and width of image
[_strImage.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor blackColor].CGColor];
[_strImage.layer setBorderWidth:1.0];

[self.lblDescription sizeToFit];
self.lblDescription.frame = CGRectMake(self.lblDescription.frame.origin.x, self.viwMidImage.frame.origin.y+ self.viwMidImage.frame.size.height,self.lblDescription.frame.size.width,self.lblDescription.frame.size.height );
self.lblDescription.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
}
else {
// if (!cell.imgNews ==nil)
self.lblnNewsTitle.frame = CGRectMake(self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.origin.x, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.origin.y, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.size.width, self.lblnNewsTitle.frame.size.height );
[self.lblDescription setNumberOfLines:0];
[self.lblDescription sizeToFit];
}

Answer 1

add NSTextAlignmentRight in directly in your Attribute Inspector at the same time remove [lblnNewsTitle sizeToFit]; and check
try this

Answer 2

From the Documentation:
- sizeToFit
Resizes and moves the receiver’s content view so it just encloses its
subviews.
You should invoke this method after:
Adding a subview (to the content view)
Altering the size or location of such a subview
Setting the margins around the content view
So, if you do sizeTofit under any alignment, the text will aligned to the left only. To fix this:
You can save the original label's width in a variable and set it after sizeToFit, or give it a fixed width to counter these problems:
If you still wish to use sizeToFit,Do something like this:
myLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
[myLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
[myLabel sizeToFit];
CGRect myFrame = myLabel.frame;
// Resize the frame's width to your requirement)
// width could also be myOriginalLabelFrame.size.width
myFrame = CGRectMake(myFrame.origin.x, myFrame.origin.y, myWidth, myFrame.size.height);
myLabel.frame = myFrame;
